You mean you.

The stresses of life were oft soothed when the hairs of a scalp took to new shape, or the devoured remnants of a beef pattie sat happily in the bowels of a once famished man. Men and women alike would congregate, partake in knowledge and the whispers of the world, and oftentimes tell of their embarkment from whence they came unto Canada.
A great number of that folk was of Jamaican origin, and those who shared not in kinship, but in fellowship, came from other lands which long ago were planted also in the Caribbean, so it was in commonplace that discussion did arise; the many things, which served to them as stumbling stones. Those who were more aged spoke not as fondly of their journey, for after the latter World War they came, hopeful and blithe; aspiring for better things, and they toiled in labourious tasks as cabmen, factory grunts, superintendents and domestics and were weary of the things which people of their semblance in skin endured. In spite of these turmoils, they lived still finer than in the caribbean, thus a great sum wished also to bring their kinfolk, but were denied by the fashioning of the bigoted materials inward the Immigration Act which impeded the travel of black west indians bound for our glorious land.
The fifth year of the fifth decade of the twentieth century after the murder of Christ, the West Domestic Scheme was wrought. It redeemed to a certain part the wrongs that our government committed; Women who departed Jamaica and Barbados to labour as domestics alone were allowed to immigrate: sundered from those whom they loved. At last in that age, which was 1962, the Immigration act became a free thing and families became once more banded together.
The government of our people also was to benefit; for it was found a great sum in those who were newly come: riches and productivity, and the governors of the caribbean discovered this as well, and they wished that more would quit the place wherefore they were born, for wealth would become to them wherefrom their people went.
Though their numbers increased, Jamaicans did not themselves further in prominence, and thus still they toiled with matters in which to them it was not bequeathed their proper merit and thus a rife lot retired to the suburbs and northerly parts of Toronto where pay was less so. There they extinguished not their petty funds, but abided in places which were freshly wrought or fashioned by improper constructions. Those who dwelt in Little Jamaica were subject to the same issuance but it was by the law dictated by consequence which sayeth an enclave is apart from anyplace, for they are more commune like.


The abodes in which new generations were now Canadian born, oft were taught that which their ancestors were learnt on the islands and coast of where the bore and where born, and thence a new age commenced, an age of Canadians with Jamaican heirship.

What's a good book on all of world history, including culture, economics, war, etc.?

I read the Atlas of World History by Patrick O'Brien as a kid, and I'm surprised there's nothing else like it in print. I don't care if it's a big encyclopedia set divided into volumes, each focused on an epoch, a continent, etc. Whatever. I just want something that's more detailed if possible.

>>9079874
You're not going to find a good book that covers all that in detail.

It's best to look for books on more specific topics.

>>9079852
A really great one I've been reading recently is A History of Private Life, I'm currently working on Volume 1 of 5, Pagan Rome to Byzantium.

Anything re: the holocaust. God napping while his chosen people are industrially murdered will never be topped.

>>9079816
Not a book but you should watch Winter Lights. One of the best movies he made and the best one of the unofficial silence of god trilogy.

Leave alien

The protagonist was captured by a sex goddess and he was so good at having sex despite being a virgin that the sex goddess fell in love with him. It's been a while but I can't remember if this was before or after he talked to the evil tree or stayed with that matriarchal tribe that didn't know how people got pregnant where he learned their whole system of martial arts within a short amount of time.

...and your problem with this book is that the protagonist killed 20 people.
