What a coincidence. the first 2 books mentioned here (by Shaw and Kemp) were those I utilised for my units. Kemp is a bit difficult to read, for he can be quite dragging in my opinion. But Shaw is very comprehensive and informative - a very good book for Egypt lovers, indeed.
Of course, for those who want to have a clear idea on where to start, there is also The complete idiot's guide to Ancient Egypt. A fun-filled, entertaining, but simultaneously informative read. Not scholarly, but it's a good start.
Sometimes, we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.
