Non Fiction Challenges: Esoteric Knowledge Challenge
http://nonfictionchallenges.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
I am keen to read books of an Esoteric Knowledge. Books that cover legends, history, speculation, OOA (Out of Order Artifacts) and other mysterious events and items that are NOT considered to be part of official history. Please note - UFO's will NOT be part of this challenge. I could make it 5 years so that it runs alongside the Non Fiction challenge. Good idea. Lets make it NO less than 25 books for 5 years. Which for me will start January 2016 and run until Dec 2020. The List - in no particular order.

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the DEATH of the Man from Stratford, I have decide to host a Shakespeare Authorship Debate challenge. This is for anyone who does NOT want to read all those plays - for people like me! I have seen most of them as movies though. So I have resurrected my old Shakespeare blog. And have issued a challenge for this year. Here is the link to my Reading Challenge. The Skies Belong To Us.
