--- Quote from: Cornelius on 24 Jan 2019, 12:53 ---One romance has Gawain travel to India, to retrieve a flying chessboard, and he marries the Indian princess, as well. Turns out the legend is a bit more diverse than most people realise.

--- End quote ---

You know, it seems like Gawain is the one knight that pretty much gets with every girl that he comes into contact with. He's quite the rake.

Blue Kitty:
I've been going though the Eyeshield 21 series like crazy. I don't know why I'm so into it, but I love it and I can't get the books out of the library fast enough

Is it cold in here?:
"The Little Book of Stoicism".

Is it cold in here?:
"Words on the Move", about how language changes and works in real life.

I finished Richard Nixon: The Life.

Nixon is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating people in American political history. There is SO much good in him, and it just got erased by his less compassionate qualities until he became infamous for his failures. And then, after that, he was an outcast from everyone; Democrats hated him, and he was too liberal for the Republicans. Reading about his viewpoints on some things for the time, like abortion, religion, homosexuality and civil rights - or even, ignoring his viewpoints and looking solely at his pre-Watergate record, which quite frankly I think should be the real measure of a politician - is pretty amazing. What a great man he could have been. I'm not sure he ever had a chance.

I've started reading now, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco's autobiography, We've Got to Leave So We Can Come Back. After the upsetting news about Ryan Adams recently, reading Jeff's book is a breath of fucking fresh air. I'm almost scared to keep reading due to how much I like it so much, and how much more it makes me like him.
