a Twitter recommendation

looking through my Twitter feeds today, after 5pm, this one caught my eye:

Carl Bildt ‏@carlbildt

Rereading John Julius Norwich's "A History of Venice" is always a true pleasure. A great history told in a most enjoyable way.

Carl Bildt is Foreign Minister of Sweden since 2006. Before that most other things.

So, after looking for the book in theOPAC and finding it at  945.31 N, I walked back into the stacks, and got it. I do think this might be the first book recommendation I've gotten via Twitter (without a doubt, the first recommendation from Minister Bildt  —or, almost certainly).

Norwich, John Julius. (1982). A history of Venice. New York : Knopf.
