Only took me a few months of on and off reading to finally get through all of Last and First Men. It is now my favorite book of all time. It has (as I mentioned in my last blog (though I doubt many have seen it) ) fundamentally changed the way I write. The book is simply wonderful and completely deserves its place in the hall of Science-Fiction Masterworks. It's a story that spans 2 billion years of potential human history (including due to when it was written, some alternate history work)!

I've been reading Last and First Men and can easily say that it is by far the best book I've ever read. The way it is written hit a chord with me, I'm certain it has even changed the way I write. It has told me that I don't have to write a story about one person or a group, this I knew already, but beyond that I can write very generally about events. Last and First Men, if you didn't know, covers 2 billion years of theoretical human future history (beginning in 1930 since it was published

Did you know that Dr. Von Braun had designed a manned mission to Mars as early as 1952? From what I understand the math still adds up, the mission would've worked. It would've been ridiculously expensive and take way too long to construct in orbit but it would've worked... a lot better than NASA's supposed planned Mars mission schedule.

Few seem to know that the Roman Empire actually survived for far longer than the first hundreds years post Jesus' birth.

"The votes have finally been counted, the new president of Hestain is Duke Flash, for what is now his fourth term as president," the newsmare says, "Duke will, at the end of this term, have been president for a full 16 years."

Most of the world (the United Nations) have agreed to a 'One China' policy, it essentially means that they must recognize either the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China (Taiwain). Bhutan doesn't recognize either.

Apposed to what I previously said about not being able to write well, I have found a good middle point between telling one persons story while telling history. The stories first chapters should be out within the next week. That said my writing still isn't great, I can only hope that people will enjoy what I can make.

Ever heard of the Renovatio Imperii Romanorum?

The Taiping Rebellion was interesting to say the least. A man by the name Hong Xiuquan claimed to be the brother of Jesus Christ and started a massive rebellion against the Qing dynasty that ruled China. Hong established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and waged war against the Qing, seeking to destroy the Qing and enact major social reforms. The rebellion grew to be the bloodiest in human history and lasted from 1850 to 1864. In the end, the Qing took a decisive victory. After the war the

I have made the decision that I will not be writing any sort of stories on here. I simply can't write, I lack the motivation to write and the knowledge. I'm gonna keep making blogs on here, definitely dropping more random history stuff. Might even try to write longer blogs, explaining historical events in detail. We'll just have to wait and see!
