Last night, I began a biography, Alexander the Great. I got about 20 pages into it and then went to bed at 9:30! It must be the author and the way the material is presented, because I did enjoy the non-fiction book The Murder of Tutankhamen by Bob Brier.
Steve Berry recommended a book about Alexander the Great by the author with the last name of Green. I found two different Greens who wrote about Alexander. I'll have to go back to The Venetian Betrayal (a wonderful book, by the way) and see which one he recommends. I hope it is better than what I tried and gave up on last night.

Ha, Alexander the Great... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz No wonder you went to sleep so early. Sounds like when I spent a month trying to read that wonderful 1312 page book by Alexandre Dumas, you know the one "The Count of Monte Cristo." It was supposed to be a good book but reading that thing was like taking NyQuil. I think I only made it to page 250.
You know, there is a pretty good movie of "The Count of Monte Cristo" ....
Yeah, saw that. I was actually trying to be more literate and actually read a classic but... didn't work. Oh well.
