Flynn is one of the most droll and erudite scribblers I know. His absolutely fascinating series on the history of our journey from geocentrism to heliocentrism<\/a> is one of the most interesting thing you will ever read (also, you should read his The January Dancer<\/a><\/em>, and then the rest of his Spiral<\/a> Arm<\/a>\u00a0 series<\/a>. Deus Vult!)<\/p>\n

Oh! \u00a0And speaking of Deus Vult! here is the first <\/a>and second <\/a>of Flynn\u2019s series on the Crusades which he began some months ago, but then was interrupted when a wasp broke his arm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you read those, here is Part the Third<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yippy! \u00a0What fun!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
