Reading books online is a hassle but this was so rewarding! The Very Short Introductions are my favourite series for learning about new topics

Caroline2 I love those short intro books too! I‘ve just ordered 6 new ones!! 😆 (edited) 7y
rwmg I like the VSI's but I think they work far better as refreshers rather than introductions. Where I have gone in knowing nothing or next to nothing I've usually come out the other side not much wiser. 7y
Emilymdxn @rwmg I guess I never really find that, I use them quite a lot for a quick window into something I wouldn‘t otherwise read about - I wouldn‘t really use them for something I already know much about though 7y
Emilymdxn @Caroline2 ooooh which ones? 7y
Caroline2 Mainly history ones (medieval England etc) but also one on the EU as I feel like there is so much I still don‘t understand about it all! 🤷♀️ 7y
