Really enjoying how global the viewpoint of this book is.
Good book. I wish to hear more about their trips though. Kinda reminded me of National Lampoons Vacation, a road trip where everything that can go wrong did go wrong, a calamity. Wanted to here more about the expeditions.
Listen to this through earphones y'all. It's not safe around kids or coworkers. 😉
I‘m off today after working three 12-hour shifts in the psych emergency department. Wow! I haven‘t worked worked in forever. My brain is mush.
Plans: Catch up on #HashtagBrigade (@BreakingMadRead), therapy, finish the Suicide House, cuddle with babies, trash TV (not sure what's on the docket), and move just enough so that Lobster doesn't think I'm dead and eats my earlobes.

This telling of world history by focusing on ruling families (rather than only rulers) is fascinating but my main take away so far is that it was very dangerous to be a member of a ruling family. The source of the danger most often being other members of said family.
There's just something wonderful about a non-fiction book where the writer is passionate about the subject matter, wants to make sure everybody understands just how awesome it is, and can write in an engaging manner.
Every chapter in this book could spawn several books of its own. 1/?
