If I want to craft historical fiction, how do you suggest I go about it?
Should I read biographies of specific individuals from that time period, or Wikipedia type books that gives a general idea of everything from that time?

I'm not aiming for historical accuracy of events, I'll just use that sort of setting to weave my own story

Long shot but is there any book that'll help me improve my wit?

What books do women read?

ITT: books that returned you from the edge of abyss

>The survey found that being too busy, not enjoying reading and preferring to spend their spare time on the internet means men read fewer books, read more slowly and are less likely to finish them than women.
>In fact, nearly three quarters of men would opt for the film or TV version of a book whereas the same percentage of women were as likely to go for the book itself.
