If literary history teaches us one thing, it’s that people were just as confused and immature in the Middle Ages as they are now. From unsolvable codes to 13th-century penis doodles in the margins of bibles, history is like an all-encompassing high school cliche that never comes to an end. These books span the course of written history, and they’re all utterly bizarre.
#6...I wish it was published in entirety as a book to read. Alas.

Yeah I read about that. But its only a glimpse of the 15000 page book. Like watching, for me, an episode of BSG and never being allowed to see the rest.

Tomorrow I'll post some pics of my grimoire. The things that lie inside are not strange to me but they be to you.

I know, right?! But if I was only to see one BSG ep it'd be "33". People could go to sleep happy after seeing only that.
