Hemlock and Venice? Neat.
If you insist on seeing a butterfly, call me 'butters' or something.

Mmmmm Sounds good.

I got a little taste of Spain reading this recently.

Quirky history/sociology/recipe book

Eastern. The Byzantine one.

Okay quick list/bump before work

Obvious authors I recommend like Orwell and Hitchens, I hesitate to mention sometimes because they're so popular, you may have already read them.
Tell us what you've read so far OP

How many Catholics are on /lit/?

Book related. Basques founded the Jesuits

A fun read on a small group of very interesting people. They were in Europe before everyone else, they made peace with Rome, later became catholic, first offshore whalers, fished the seas off the coasts Lief Erickson landed on in Newfoundland, Sailed with Columbus (but didn't take him to their fishing grounds!) A basque completed that famous Magellan trip, (Why is Magellan famous for circling the earth when he plainly died in the Philippines?) founded the Jesuits....

I bought this because they tested a lot of Europeans to find their genetic backgrounds. Everyone expected the Basque to stand out as a people apart, but it turns out that their ancestors crossed the ice bridge to England and endured all those various invasions. The so called Celtic people of the British isles are only culturally Celtic.

Ya like Star Trek? (Lots of people do fanfic actually) I came up with an idea, which actually incorporated some things that I've been reading about, so you might have to research some....

There I am on the right holdin' de flag

Good book. Basque are some goofy people.
