The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

Geist Staff

You'll need more than one cross-town bus ride to polish off The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon (as abridged for Dell). But this book remains pre-eminently a great read, and it's rife with graceful periods and rolling paragraphs. Very funny stuff on the rise of Christianity; more sobering stuff on the vanities of the Great.
