Honestly… it would. I used to joke that I knew more about Charles II’s mistresses than his foreign policy… but I actually just learned foreign policy through his mistresses.

ZOMG

I love this idea. I have no idea what I would do, but I love this. It really embraces that learning could be about joy.

I second this.

I need something c. 19th century that my ECCO access doesn't reach to. I can see via WorldCat that "historical texts" has it...

I get that for Christians it's important to see Christianity as good. but none of the rest of us fucking care if it's "real" Christians or "fake" Christians robbing us of healthcare or destroying our democracy.

Please advise: which book have you started with?

Fascinating!
