I understand Parmenides claim about reality being one and unchanging, but I don't understand the reasoning. Are change and many things impossible because they imply a space of nothingness to separate different things, and by its definition nothingness cannot exist?

I'd say you got the gist of it. Go through Zeno's paradoxes, he attempts to prove that movement (i.e. change) is impossible, thus providing interesting philosophical arguments in favor of Parmenides.

It all stems from a simple recognition of the fact that that what-is-not cannot be. This means something always was, generation and destruction are impossible because something has never arisen from nothing, meaning change is impossible and there is in fact only one principle of nature: being.

The only pre-Socratics worth reading are Democritus and Heraclitus.
