You might be aware that over the last few months, if I talk about the book that I’m reading it has been a history book. I wanted to find out about the Plantagenets so I bought Dan Jones’ book on the subject. I’m going to describe it as an easy read, in the sense that the book was easy to pick up and carry on reading. It’s a long book so at an average of 5 – 10 pages per night, you can imagine it took me a bit of time to get through.
When I finished it it felt reasonable to extend the reading to The Wars of the Roses. I found that I really liked Dan Jones’ style of writing, and luckily he had written a book about the topic, and included the rise of the Tudors. I felt that gave me enough to focus my reading a little more, and so the next (historical) book I will be reading is one about Queen Elizabeth I. Now, here comes the dilemma;
I’ve never been really sure about my politics, now, I have made a point of staying away from writing about politics, mainly because it upsets people and I don’t want to do that (in the event that people actually start reading this blog, I know I have a few readers and I am very grateful for you, and I don’t want to upset you, so I tend to not discuss it. But the book that I also want to read is British political ideologies – I figured, if I understood them, it might help me work out where I am.
I don’t intend to write here about what I find out about them, but I will be having some conversations with ChatGPT. The dilemma is that I want to read both books, but can’t do it at the same time. I guess it’s going to take a bit of time to work through them.
