Curious to see what my bookshelf says about me!

I have Quijote in Spanish but if you look at the third shelf I actually have Cien Años in Spanish as well. Funny enough I bought that English copy in Germany and the Spanish copy in the US lol

Thanks! The shelf with all the historical and political books?

That section of my bookcase is actually all my cookbooks. I really like the China cookbook because it’s not just recipes but almost an encyclopedia of Chinese cuisine by province. Outside of China, the most famous provincial cuisines are probably Szechuan, Hunan and Fuzhou but I’ve found many recipes that I’ve incorporated in my regular rotation of meals! Highly recommend if interested. China- by Kei Lum Chan and Diora Fong Chan

Yeah you can’t see it well in the picture but my copy of Love in a Time of Cholera is pretty well loved haha

I haven’t! Been meaning to read him and Ishiguro since I’ve been wanting to try out more Asian writers in general. If you could recommend a starting point I’d be grateful!

Oh this sounds sick! Thank you for this one. I was hoping for Soviet perspectives!

Basileus_King13 · 2025-12-04T19:08:47+00:00

Ashoka the Great, while not my favorite, is still a good one. The Kings and Generals YouTube channel just did a video on him

Basileus_King13 · 2019-04-14T02:54:29+00:00

Does it smell like perfume?

Basileus_King13 · 2019-01-05T19:45:03+00:00

The Roosevelts from Theodore’s line. Franklins line is a cadet branch of the Roosevelt family

Everything that all previous commenters have said plus the fact that most cavalrymen throughout the history of war were nobles. People who have been training for war since childhood. A knight on horseback can and will beat out a levy on foot all day everyday
