* Victorian America: Transformations in Everyday Life 1876-1915

* A Timber Framer's Workshop

I've read both of these in the past, but hey, the few movies I watch I often end up watching several times as well.

Currently reading/studying/reviewing a wood structural analysis textbook. The roof structure on my latest home design is quite complex... that's what I get for designing (small) Victorian-inspired homes.

Since spring is approaching, I'm sure I will be breaking out the Wild Edibles series soon, which of course will remind me not to eat water hemlock.

Bob Brier: Ancient Egyptian Magic. I knew virtually nothing of this. Now I know enough to seek more. I found the chapter on Egyptian oracles to be fascinating. I had never known that ordinary people engaged them in an intimate manner.
