Reading. In addition to (obviously) Brandon Sanderson's books I've read the basic classic Fantasy books - LotR, Narnia, Harry Potter - the ones that were popular in my country a few years ago - Riordan's mythologies, Artemis Fowl and the Inheritance Cycle, some books that I won't categorize like His Dark Materials trilogy, the Inkworld trilogy, the Underland Chronicles, Seven Wonders (by Peter Lerangis), the Sunlit Lands trilogy, the Books of Beginning trilogy, the Bartimeus trilogy, Lockwood & Co., The Chronicles of Pridain, Sabriel out of the Old Kingdom series, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, Spiderweek, (the two last ones I remember, but didn't like too much, really) some random Fantasy books from the local library, Ella Enchanted (apparently), the Last Unicorn (it's an amazing book, you should read it) Five Kingdoms and Beyonders by Brandon Mull, The Homeward Bounders, Archer's Goon, the Worlds of Chrestomanci series, Fire and Hemlock, the Magids duology, Black Maria, the Time of the Ghost, the Power of Three and Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones. I also write sometimes.
Life? What is that? Never heard of such a thing, sorry. Now, if you allow me, there's this book I'm trying to read...

Well, ladies and gentlemen ~~of the jury~~ I mean, those who read my status updates, I'm happy to say that no year-long wait is necessary for the next installment in my history of Judaism series - it's already here! In it I talk about Ultra-Orthodox Jews and their resistance to emancipation, secular studies and religious changes - mostly from the angle of Rabbi Moshe Sofer, AKA Ḥatam Sofer. Do tell me if you feel it's lacking in anyway, or if you really liked it, or just... comment in general your thoughts.

And here are the previous entries about Haskalah and Reform Judaism.

Hope you enjoy reading! Have a good day!
