One good free ebook with KDP was "Fertility Wheel" by Stephen Manning; it shared that once you align the zodiac symbols correctly, it becomes a farmer's almanac and goes into agricultural aspects of different religions and cultures. I just saw a book about history's greatest thinkers or ?? and that is next on my list!

Hello all. My apologies if this doesn't exactly fit this sub's goals.

I am trying to put together an independent study of literature and Cinema surrounding the Spanish Civil War and Francoist Spain. Specifically, I am looking for literature from Spain, (that has English language translations available) written during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) and shortly after (roughly 1940–1945). I am really struggling to find anything that isn't more contemporary, writing about that time period. I do have some contemporary works that I intend to compare and contrast, but want to see how the war affected literature during that time.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there!

First off apolagies for formatting. Im on mobile and still not used to reddit app. So I finished college a while ago for an animal care course. I loved it a lot and don't regret taking it as it has taught me a lot and allows me to take even better care of the animals in my life. However, it has become apparent that trying to get a job in that field where I live is nearly impossible or requires a university degree which I havent taken the plunge on yet as it's a lot of money and I've been saving up for a while and if I'm beging honest I'm having second thoughts on whether that's the degree I wish to persue. I do love animal care but I have realised that there are other subjects that I may love more and may want to go into to study that would be easier later on for me to get a job so I would like to take this time to research more into them to not only see if that's true but to see whether I still enjoy them after studying them for a while.

So I've decided to take this year to research and learn more about these subjects and what they would entail in a college and university setting to see whether it would be something I would like to persue for a course in the future and mostly to see if its something I could see myself enjoying for the rest of my life.

First I am making a list of all subjects that interest me a lot that I may wish to learn about and maybe persue in the future at college or university.

Second I'm looking at different collages and university's courses on those subjects and the curriculum they offer to see what I would be learning and making a list on that to research into.

Last I am trying to read more into those subjects to see if it is indeed something I could see myself doing as a job and enjoying for the rest of my life which leads me to here.

So below I'm going to write a list of subjects I'm very much interested in learning much more about and would love your suggestions on books and websites and podcasts I can listen to to learn more on those subjects. Thank you!

Subjects:-

*History (I would just love to learn more about how the world used to be and what life was like back then. Especially anything related to the Victorian era)

*Religion and Deities (Basically anything that isn't Christian as I've been given a lot of books to read on that religion but would like to learn about the others in the world, there deities and stories surrounding that)

*English literature and creative writing (I recently got back into my love of reading and writing and was looking into a english literature and creative writing course online so anything that would be useful for that would be amazing)

*Folklore/Myths and legends (especially any based in England. I would love to learn more about the Fae due to a lot of myths of them being told where I live)

*Plants (I just love plants okay? Hoping to grow my own food soon. I would especially love to learn about fungi as I find it fascinating)

*Sewing (I'd love to learn how to sew and create my own clothes. Especially how to make more historically accurate clothing from the Victorian era to maybe the 1950's)

*Space (I blame star trek for this but I would love to learn more about space and what's out there)

*Architecture and anything to do with house building and renovation (I have a lot of older but beautiful houses around me where I live and would love to get one in the future and restore them to there original state)

If you have any suggestions for books on these subjects or really on any subject please do let me know as I would love to learn about everything I can. I may do more posts in the future if other subjects end up interesting me. Thanks!

(My first post on this subreddit lol)

I am asking this recommendation for my mother (she's 40 )(I'm her 18 yr old daughter).. she probably hasn't read an English book her whole life (she used to read in her native tongue but that's pretty long ago).. just to clarify though that she reads all articles on the net in English so the language isn't really a problem but I said that as a background info about her reading habits if that were any important here...(im sry otherwise)

why a book?... my mother has the most horrible in-laws (they're are the most inhumane creatures I've met) ... I hope you can assume her trauma as she was 20 when she married into that house... my dad is a good person in all ways except for the fact that he wishes to be a spectator in the issue no matter what and wants my mom adjust to everything(which she did and has been doing for the last 19 years)...i started giving advice to my mother probably from when i was around 14 and fixed some minor things and has tried helping in any way i could..... the only solution i see is to get a job and make them happy after four years... (im joining college next week so i wouldn't be here for a long time ) so i thought i could talk to her about the books I'll ask her to read and that would help her out so that she wouldn't have to keep crying or be depressed or argue with my confused dad who can't ever make a decision on this...those creatures did not let my mom finish her degree and due to circumstances , she has been housewife ... my dad makes enough and is cool except for this issue....

the family problems i have now is not something i can fully explain here ... I'm sorry but its way too much to pen down also my mom doesn't really like the fact that i spend time to help her out and regrets putting me in this situation ... she is incredibly pessimistic. she's a very kind soul who's just too traumatised to find a way-out ....i know that if i get into a stable career ..things will change and i can do much more help ...i am working on my part ... i have the sweetest parents (with issues ofc) but only if those creatures didn't exist.... also, my mother's family was very poor, and she was married off in debts ...but even now her parents and her siblings don't care as well ... my mom only has me and this family...

Please recommend some books to help my mother be happier about the cute-funny-sweet-stupid-potato that she is and also to heal her heart and help her make better decisions and be more positive and confident ... :)

THANK YOU LOADS ... MAY Y'ALL BE BLESSED... *big hugs*

38 Stratagems from Schopenhauer

I know some of you have said you love the concept of building your own curriculum but aren't sure how to get started. Here is an easy way:

Pick a book or movie you love and build around that.

Example: the movie Tombstone

Possible subjects for books, movies, podcasts, articles, and classes:

settling the Old West

mining towns

The Cowboys

Sheriffs and Law Enforcement

Old West medicine and surgery

tuberculosis and other diseases

brothels

early history of undertakers

horses

faro, poker, and other old west games

train travel

I wasn’t sure if we could put links here. I’m on the app. But here is how I am planning for 2022. It’s modified a little from 2021. I chose one topic per month. I read about 2-3 books a week.
Subject Month Books Audiobooks (I have a long work commute so I typically get 1 per week) Movies Podcasts/videos/Ted talks Articles Then I list by week.

That’s it!

Do you plan out your subjects for the year, or by the month? Or do you just deep dive into topics as they interest you?

And do you have a formal way of tracking your learning?
