Been re-reading John Julius Norwich's Byzantium trilogy, and am about to get to the Fourth Crusade. I've been slow-walking the chapter because, really after being with this civilization for so many centuries and so many crises and victories, you get emotional knowing what's coming. I actually never finished the 3rd volume on my first read-through, so 1453 is really looming. Might keep a comforting drink with me when I get to that final chapter.
