British mysteries, aka detective fiction, seem to speak another language. Prosaic people find reading the books of this period confusing. Here is a short primer on how to read such authors as Michael Innes and Edmund Crispin. Do not be put off by elliptical references, Latin or Greek quotations, stereotypes being gently made mild fun of and please enjoy the improbabilities. Both authors will slide a joke in wherever possible. You will be invited to digress or to philosophize...do not let these distract you - just note them down for later, and get on with the story. Well worth investigating later but only after you've gotten to the end of the book.
More ideas for you to consider. Do note be dismayed by the abundance of eggs for breakfast. They are the perfect food and there are so many ways of preparing them - how about a custard for breakfast using eggs, a bit of sweetener, heavy cream and a touch of vanilla? All that is required is a willingness to innovate and explore.
4 authors to help with your deconversion from the Christo-Fascists touting "Christian Nationalism" with their "Christian Moral Order" which is anything but Christian or Moral. All of that is not only utter rubbish but it is incorrect aka false and has nothing to do with Jesus. 3 of the authors are kind, but Steve Wells isn't so be prepared to meet the deity you 'say' you worship as presented to you in His 'holy book' - the Bible. All are available as eBooks for small prices.
A 'how to' video for those beginning a ketogenic diet. A bit longer than normal because there's a bit more than usual to cover. Do not believe all that main stream media and the vegans tell you about ketogenic diets - which have been around since the 1600's when a British doctor used it to reverse diabetes in two Army officers and to decrease weight - see Letter on Corpulence written by the undertaker who found it the only thing diet that worked for him. The keto flu is nothing to fear and easily avoided. Besides being keto is better for your health than taking insulin, statins and all of the other medications with their dreadful side effects. Keto is all about NOT eating an unneeded food group - zero carb while replacing with a needed food group - healthy fats. With a few rules, you'll be fine and healthy again. If on meds - see your doctor. Recommended reading at the end.
A biography of the interwar world of motorcar racing by Sir Henry 'Tim' Birkin, Baronet, one of the 'gentlemen racers' of the Bentley Boys and winner of the LeMans 24 twice in what Bugatti called "the fastest lorry (truck) in Europe" the big and heavy 3.5 liter Bentley. To get an idea of what driving a big Bentley in LeMans was like watch this: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=3+1%2f2+liter+bentley+cars+engine+&&view=detail&mid=75C63654F6FA642EB54E75C63654F6FA642EB54E&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D3%25201%252F2%2520liter%2520bentley%2520cars%2520engine%2520%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3D3%25201%252F2%2520liter%2520bentley%2520cars%2520engine%2520%26sc%3D0-32%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D24449044D0C74971922C08C35E65BF68 Vague steering, brakes not entirely reliable and with oil pipes and gas tanks that might burst and tires likely to shred themselves - racing was a bit 'exciting' back in those days.
Ngaio Marsh "Death at the Bar", Patricia Moyes "Murder a'la Mode" and Helen MacInnes "Above Suspicion" all books about 'murder' in one form or another and listed above in ascending order of 'grip'. The Marsh book one ends up thumbing through to save one's self the trouble of reading the whole thing. You read the Moyes and enjoy it but it is the standard sort of thing - wit included. When it comes to MacInnes - the lady will wring your heart and hang you out to dry -she writes so very well and there's no sugary coating to ease your way. Originally published in 1941 which might explain how she managed to capture such an evocative spirit of the time.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was the most famous of orator during the later 1800's in America. He was a lifelong defender of freedom, liberty, equal rights for all men, women and children regardless of race, he was pro-evolution, pro-science, pro-free education for all, pro-contraception, pro-an 8 hour work day & fair wages, and pro-separation of church and state. He was anti-slavery, and anti-religion which he regarded as a kind of enslavement - "the rule by priest". He co-founded the 11th Regiment of the Illinois Volunteers Cavalry and fought in the Civil War - no coward he, as the rebels admitted. Captured by Forrest, he was paroled and having sworn not to fight, he resigned his commission in 1863. He supported Lincoln, promoted Thomas Paine, Robert Burns and Walt Whitman. His lectures covered many topics. Essentially unschooled, he set about educating himself and then studied and entered the law profession as a criminal lawyer, along with his older brother, in Peoria. As a lawyer, he rose the Attorney General of Illinois but was unsuccessful as a Republican candidate for governor due to his atheism. As an orator he was witty, charming and spoke to the common man - often speaking from memory although his lectures sometime lasted for three hours. And the people flocked to hear him. I recommend him to you and his collected works, in 12 volumes, are available for free from Internet Archive.
