Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Let's relax to the story of sleeping places with more from this charming history of the country inn. This time, churches as a place to rest and drink heartily, the romance of the great coaching inns, ale's healthful benefits, and unseemly behavior for a boozy barbershop. Cheers!

Let's journey across the sands of sleep with more from this guide to the wonders of ancient Egypt. This time, a look at the processes of painting and sculpture, how artists practiced, stylistic conventions, and curiously modular sculptures. Also, a little sculpture we call the Sphinx!

Let's conclude our relaxing read from this wonderful guide to traveling and studying art in England, France, and Italy. This time, the best places for cheap clothes and paints in Paris, Rome for the art student, and the perils of cigarette smoke to good study. Also, a surprise advertisement for a book I think you'll recognize, so that's fun.

Let's conclude this month's wander on the Wayback Machine with more from this introduction and analysis to one of the greats of classical Greek literature. This time, what makes a good ruler, swapping social classes, thoughts on art and health, and the connection between body and mind. And that's just halfway through Book Four! Phew.

Let's continue our relaxing travels in The Wayback Machine and head back to the 1200s with more from Marco Polo and his epic journey through Asia to the court of the khans. This time, poisonous winds, treacherous plateau deserts, a false paradise, and the floating column of Samarkand. All totally true!
