Europe Between the Oceans: 9000AD-1000BC - Barry "Cuntlips" Cunliffe

Kind of a dry subject but the writing is pretty engaging and there are lots of pictures.

lengthy, but good. does a good job of not letting the reader get absolutely lost in the middle of it nor does it drone on and on about the imperial legal system/judiciary like others do.

The Holy BIble. It's honestly one of the single most tedious things I've ever read. I'm about halfway through it.

Which version?

>>2020983

The Ego and his own.

>>2021896
King James. It's considered one of the major works of English literature, and as an Anglo it's the one I see most widely referenced. Though I notice that the references people make get drastically less common past Kings.

>>2021908
>>2021896
I plan to read the RNSV at some point (specifically that Oxford Annotated study bible) but for the time being, I think King James will be sufficient to get the basic ideas of the Bible across for my pursuits elsewhere in philosophy.

The Holy Bible (KJV)
I'm on 1 Chronicles

>>2021908
Are reading it as a /rel/ or /lit/ project?

The jaguar's smile. Salman Rushdie goes to Nicaragua and sees the sandinista regime firsthand. Very interesting desu

>>2021917
More as /phi/ project.

Seriously. The amount of popular history in this thread is somewhat upsetting. Not to sound like an elitist cunt or anything.

>>2022823
To be fair, owning books doesn't mean you read them.

t. has a bad habit of buying books faster than I read them (though I do read quite a lot)

I just finished Beevor's Stalingrad so I'm jumping right into Berlin. Germany is about to get BTFO pretty hard

>>2022980
Is this good? Is this guy /his/ approved? My history department gave me his Jerusalem book as a gift when I graduated but I didn't finish it

I was reading The Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe by Sydney Anglo but that got bookmarked.

Now I'm reading King, Warrior, Magician Lover. Nothing to do with history really.

>Kristian """""Varg""""" Vikernes

>>2026990
Didn't he legally change his name? So it would go like:

>Varg Vikerenes (Originally Kristian Vikernes)

Also I may not like the guy, but there is a certain symbolic value to getting rid of a name like that when the philosophy you espouse is turning away from Christian ideals in favour of paganism.

Just finished an analysis on Beowulf. About to start The Early Kings of Norway.
