Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Let's sail the seas of sleep with more from this varied history of the oceans. This time, 18th century explorations of the Pacific, Arctic exploration going back to the 1500s, the ill-fated journey and many searches for Franklin's expedition on the Erebus and Terror, and the nautical history of the Resolute Desk, which has weathered some choppy seas indeed.

Let's sow a crop of sleep with more from this marvelous guide to running away to the country and remaking one's life on a farm. This time, canning makes tomatoes popular, railroads and science revolutionize agriculture, and our author extols the practical value of beautiful songbirds to the farmer. Facts!

Let's celebrate the spooky season (and our 8th anniversary!) and see what the cards say about sleep as we work our way through the symbolism of the Tarot. This time, the greater arcana, the many paths of the hermit, and a bit of sniping at other authors. But first, we divine our way through the veil of a most inscrutable preface. Mystifying indeed!

Let's sketch our way to sleep with more from this guide to drawing and painting. This time, more on the science side, including vision, the intrinsic link between touch and sight, why kids draw the way they draw, and the important of art education for everyone. Concur!

Let's relax with more from this rather questionable 17th century guide to medicinal plants. This time, herbs to rid yourself of fleas, cure gout, eliminate the French pox, and treat pretty much every ailment you can think of through the power of the purgative. Do not recommend!
VERY BIG NOTE: As always with these old "medicinal" works, do not follow or rely on anything you hear in this podcast. Many of these herbs are, in fact, very bad for you. This reading is merely to bore and/or amuse, not inform.
