Man, Gertrude Bell is one hell of a woman. I love learning about the Middle East and this book really gives you insight on the region and tells the story of a woman who triumphed against gender roles in the 19th/20th century. She was brilliant and spent her life in curiosity and adventure.

In retrospect horrible people, but a product of their times. However reading first person accounts of the ongoings of those days are truly awe inspiring.

I really loved Indiana Jones and I was a history buff. Traveling around looking for old shit sounded cool.

I am obsessing over the early albums of Fleetwood Mac. You know, despite popular opinion I was never much a fan of Stevie Nicks so when I found Mr wonderful, Peters Fleetwood Mac, even the Blues Jams in Chicago, The Pious Bird of Good Omen, and 7936 South Rhodes I was astatic. I LOVE why did no one tell me
