(no subject)

Died on this day in 1417 aged 40 King Louis II of Naples (my toy,wikipedia). Grandfather of Margaret of Anjou, wife of Henry VI. Allied with various anti-popes (do popes and anti-popes annihilate on contact??)

Born on this day in 1618 to Duke Ranuccio I of Parma and Margherita Aldobrandini, Vittoria Farnese (my toy,wikipedia). Married the widower of her sister whose grand-daughter Mary of Modena married James VII & II.

Reading Wednesday

Finished:
The how not to die book. Good reminder of things I already know, and also of the existence of things I don't know... but not a good way to learn how to do new things (helpful advice on calling for help, and what emergency supplies to take, etc. though).

Current:
Three Body Problem - continues amazing. Rather more realistic physics concerning the titular problem than Nightfall managed.

Lovelace and Babbage - couldn't resist. See. Want. Have. Start Reading. Easy to read in bits.


Next:
Well, there's still the Seanan novella, and the Sanderson novellas, and Flex. Haven't picked yet.
