Gates Of Fire

I never actually 'finished' this book. What it is, is a take on the battle of Thermopylae, (which Jay already knows) I have about an 8th left to read. It's all psychological really, I ruined it for myself, even though the two aren't 'the same' story. I watched 300 before I read the book. Granted I know that they are different accounts of the tale, different authors blah blah blah, (Adam gives me hell for this) but I just can't get past the movie. As I read the book, I see the characters from the movie in my head, even though they aren't portrayed the same way, and it really irks me. I will try to finish the book at some point, but it will take some doing. It's a shame really, I am so close to being done.
