Oh, for sure, they’re all 19th century books. He can probably get everything he’s interested in reading from Project Gutenberg or something.
No, it wasn’t The Last Days of Pompeii, it ended with am Rom I think.
I’ll pass on those recommendations lol. When I was a kid he had us reading the viking stories in the car on the way to school so we would practice our German, I thought they were cool stories tbh. I had forgotten all about them until I read Jared Diamond’s Collapse book recently.
