I do like this blog, the series on Sparta was pretty great and was entertaining reading.

What I find a bit distracting though is the author's overuse of parentheses. For example:

> (Obviously, I don’t mean just Flanders, but rather World War One generally, but since I am writing in English, and we are generally thinking about fiction produced in English (if not always by native English speakers), the experience of the BEF in Flanders tends to dominate the memory of the war.)

It seems like every 1 in 3 paragraphs is parenthesised, and it unfortunately disrupts the overall flow of the post.



I kinda like it — reminds me of a class taught by an erudite professor who has to constantly reign himself in from following tangents.
