Interested in biblical history, classical Greece and Rome, popular science and foreign travel.
I found my university Latin and Greek reading list from the 90s recently and it’s been great finally collecting and reading the books. I wasn’t ready at the time. I eventually got a vocational degree.

I’m trying not to buy ultra-processed foods after seeing Chris van Tulleken’s Christmas lectures in December. Healthier food tastes better.

This year my New Year's resolution is to complete the writing and publication of 'Legendary Kings' Volume Two, covering the era from King David in 1010 BC down to the sack of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC, as it works out in the New Chronology. Wish me luck!
