Bibliography

Monday, December 08, 2003

There's a review in The New York Times on Laurence Bergreen's superb new book Over the Edge of the World, about Magellan. Details are juicy: sexual orgies on board the ship, Enrique -- a Filipino -- as really the first person to circumnavigate the world twice around, the "outrageous" sexual practices of early Filipinos, etc., etc., etc. Interesting.





Anybody out there may give this to me as a Christmas gift. :) See wishlist for other details... I mean, really, if you're racking your head trying to decide what to give me this Christmas, a book will easily be Christmas for me.
