This book looks like a great read, thank you! Just borrowed the audiobook from Libby :)

Prehistory! I just kind of fell into a Wikipedia timeline now. I read about the very early universe, early universe, and then it got a little complicated. So I found an article by The Guardian that breaks the timeline of the universe down into more layman’s terms, so I’m in the bath reading that lol Edit: article is from 2008 so I ended up confused. But I learned to check article dates so whatever lmfao

I never really applied myself in school, I think due to big traumas I experienced as a kid. I learned to just avoid things, and I never really absorbed the information I was learning. I was pretty good at history though, and always interested in it. Now I’m an adult who spends wayyy too much time on their phone looking at stupid shit that I don’t actually care about, because I don’t know what else to do with my time and feelings. Okay I’m sorry this is long winded! The point is, where can I start with a good “history 101”? I know I can scroll here and just learn so much over time, but I’d like to just fall into something like a timeline of… everything? I guess? To help my brain not be so overwhelmed, and it also just sounds like something I would really enjoy. I want to know so much and I don’t know where to start. Thank you guys!! Sorry its so long
