This year I want to start reading a new each and to continue it if I like the first 50 pages.

This Week: "The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World" by William Dalrymple.

He discusses the Indosphere - the spread of Indian trade, culture, art, religion, and science across Eurasia from Rome to South Asia between 250 BCE - 1200 CE.

Verdict: Will Keep Reading!

A copy of William Darymple's book "The Golden Road" in hardcover on a lap covered in a blanket with legs outstretched. Next to the book on the lap is a mug of coffee with cream. In the background is a wooden floor and a wooden coffee table.

@seanbala @histodons @antiquidons One of the many things I enjoyed about that book was his discovery of a previously unknown to him family connection with a major archaeological find.

I have stumbled on William Dalrymple with the book City of Djinns. The Empire Pod has also been amazing to listen to.

Since City of Djinns is his first book, I can starkly see the contrast in his decades of learning about Indian history.
