"Another strong non-fiction entry in this compendium, "Rich Men's Skins: A Social History of Armour" is a concise but very content-rich exploration of the role of armor in history. Particularly social history. With plenty of citations and footnotes, Parker goes from the ancient world to the modern and highlights how armor functions in practice, and also interacts with the social status of those who wear it. Too short!" Nov 06, 2022 04:17PM

“Only a generation of readers will spawn a generation of writers.”
Steven Spielberg

Lemony Snicket
“It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.”
Lemony Snicket

Mervyn Peake
“What is Time, O sister of similar features, that you speak of it so subserviently? Are we to be the slaves of the sun, that secondhand overrated knob of gilt, or of his sister, that fatuous circle of silver paper? A curse upon their ridiculous dictatorship!”
Mervyn Peake, Titus Groan

Mervyn Peake
“...another comber of far pleasure followed the first, for his books came suddenly before his eyes, row upon row of volumes, row upon priceless row of calf-bound Thought, of philosophy and fiction, of travel and fantasy; the stern and the ornate, the moods of gold or green, of sepia, rose, or black; the picaresque, the arabesque, the scientific - the essays, the poetry and the drama.
All this, he felt, he would now re-enter. He could inhabit the world of words, with, at the back of his melancholy, a solace he had not known before.”
Mervyn Peake, Titus Groan

Lord Dunsany
“So he sat and listened to pigeons talking, till it seemed to him they were trying to lull the restlessness of Earth, and thought that they might by drowsy incantation be putting some spell against time, through which it could not come to harm their nests; for the power of time was not made clear to him yet and he knew not yet that nothing in our fields has the strength to hold out against time.”
Lord Dunsany, The King of Elfland's Daughter
