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.

roast me

Which version?

The Ego and his own.

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.

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

Are reading it as a /rel/ or Veeky Forums project?

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

More as /phi/ project.

I've only been reading chivalric writings lately. Read Charny's and Llull's short text on knighthood. Reading chivalric fiction now. Just a few tales in.

I bought this one some time ago. This morning I was thinking about start reading it.

Great.

This. Read yesterday the chapter on the Saxons.

Would you happen to have any chivalrous recommendations?

>implying Veeky Forumstorians read

Are those panties in that drawer?

I know i'm a pleb.

Next to my bed right now you triple nigger.

I can take a shot of my little shelf too if you'd like.

i dare you to do it mother fucker

Currently reading this. I'm enjoying it so far

fucking plebs, call yourself historians yet you base your reading off secondary texts LMAO enjoy your bias and compelling narratives you casuals

If you aren't reading things like this, do you really belong on Veeky Forums?

Goethe's pen pal.

Karl Marx - Das Kapital

Majorly creepy shit

...

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

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

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

How about you throw out some dank recs then, tough guy??

random wikipedia articles...dont read books any,ore because...im so lazy.

>Not to sound like an elitist cunt or anything.
You do

Primary sources are 99% of the time the most boring dry shit imaginable

...

It's a real page turner.

one of the few patricians in this thread

Yes it's pretty good. The Court of The Red Tsar is also excellent.

Have fun with getting through all that genealogy. I prefer the ESV btw.

...

I got to halfway through but then I just stalled out. I am going to return to that after I finish with pic related

>decide to read some livy
>notes of a city council more interesting

...

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.

kek

the principles are obvious and semi-already known, but it's nicely explained.

...

not historical necessarily but i thought it would be worth reading

"The sword and the crucible" A history of the Metallurgy of European swords up to the 16th century. By Allan Williams.

Noice

...

Friendly advice: you should read books written by educated people.

...

Just got this a few days ago, have had trouble finding time to read it tho

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

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.


How does this one compare to
?
Cuz I love the latter

the classic
