At Times I Felt Like I Was Dying

Nothing could be creepier than the infamous Bubonic Plague, right? That's what I thought when I bought this book--I couldn't wait to dive in and really feel the terror and dread of the impending doom. Much to my disappointment, however, it was more a slog through a statistics class, all focused on data about England. Page after page of numbers, lists, etc. bog the reader down interminably. What about the rest of the world??? Oh yes, there's passing mention, but really, it was very Anglo-centric and dry as a bone. Unless you're in the market for a book of lists, then may I recommend The Black Death, by Philip Ziegler?
