Bring out the Bodie sis an easier read than the first book 'Wolf Hall' which was hard going initially but enjoyable once I got into it and understood who everyone was. Being familiar with the history of England at the time of Henry VIII and the main personalities would be an advantage. It shows how history can be influenced in a major way by domestic matters, in this case the failure of Henry's wives to bear him a son.
P.S. I am also bored with the Theist v Atheist debate even though I am a confirmed atheist. I don't see the point of trying to convince a Theist that I am right and they are wrong particualrly given that I have failed to convince my wife that the WBTS are manipulative, misleading and deceptive even though I think it is as obvious as the nose on my face.
