“The narrative bursts its banks, the historian despairs and ‘meanwhile’ becomes the adverb of first resort.”

What a great way of describing the events of 1848-1849 hihi

Faustibooks is starting Chess
Reading a used book with someone else’s notes in it is like watching a movie with someone who has already seen it and can’t shut up throughout the whole thing. Super annoying! Shut up!!!!

Lol yesterday I was talking about the fact that I am doing modern Greek on Duolingo and that I want to read all different types of fiction to see what I like (even Colleen Hoover). Guess what? Today in the bookstore some customer gifted us a Greek Colleen Hoover book, what are the chances! Time to seriously start learning Greek I guess

It’s so interesting to read about the Crusades from the Eastern Roman perspective! Damn untrustworthy barbarians!!

Funny how in secondary school I was ‘Crusades guy’, but now I’m Roman empire man😎

Crazy that the Frankish Charlemagne got crowned ””””Emperor of the Romans”””” because the ACTUAL ruler of the Roman Empire was a WOMAN and the pope didn’t like that.

Also, I recently experienced reading while a cat sits on my lap for the first time in my life and it’s great!
