Last day of the month and the last of my "Just Read This January" posts. Congrats if you are still alive. Well done. Some #Tolkien here. #Imbolc #Reading

This might not be the best version. The Dover Thrift Edition. And I thought I had a hard copy of Tolkien's "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" lecture but I can't find it... also, I think it's implicit in more than one place in the story that Grendel is big and has superhuman strength, right?

Oldie but goodie. Really about emerging market economies in W. Europe 1000-1300 AD. #books #history

The first in a series. I didn't realize this until I was halfway through the book. Also, they made a tv show out of this that I tried to watch once but couldn't because of the stupid clothes and hair on the Danes. Might try again. #Wessex #Alfred #Danelaw #Guthrum

Great explanation of the burnt cakes/bread story. Also, the ultimate comeback, I'm-putting-together-a-team, redemption revenge tale. #Alfred #History #Athelney #England
