I've been on kind of a biography kick lately, mostly thanks to Alison Weir. (Who writes, mostly, biographies of medieval/Renaissance English queens.) The Schiff biography was interesting, but honestly pretty slow going. It just also had a couple of quotes that screamed "Cleopatra/PMMM is not as strange a crossover as you might think!"

It's partly brainstorming, partly notes to myself. I actually have a drabble already done, but I'm too fascinated with the topic to leave it at that. It's kind of funny - as an Egyptophilic kid, I never had any interest in Cleopatra, because she wasn't a real Egyptian.
