Some people read this blog. I have no idea who they are. Sometimes they let me know. Most often they never tell me, never comment, never like my post. They read or glance at it and move on with their lives. More people never even bother to read it. This includes most of my friends, family and even my wife.

On October 18, 1851, Herman Melville‘s masterpiece of the Great American Novel Moby-Dick is first published as The Whale by Richard Bentley of London.

88 Years of Middle-Earth, 75 Years of Narnia

Last updated on: November 10, 2025 at 9:25 am By Mark Wilson

During the hectic middle decades of the twentieth century, from the end of the Great Depression through World War II and into the 1950s, a small circle of intellectuals gathered on a weekly basis in and around Oxford University to drink, smoke, quip, cavil, read aloud their works in progress, and endure or enjoy with as much grace as they could muster the sometimes blistering critiques that followed.

250 Years Ago The Fight For America Began

Last updated on: November 13, 2025 at 11:06 pm By Mark Wilson

I started a 1000 years ago to look at the past and pondered how short and how long-ago historical events really happen. I looked at this Trivial Pursuit up until 1749.
