The Book of Days, Strange Maps and Ron Little's Blog

In th last couple of days, I've been pointed towards some of the most refreshing sites of recent times. Not consisting of new material, but actually information I'd actually like to read.

THe first is The Book of Days. This is an online reproduction of the contents of a 19th century miscellany. I could spend hours wading through the material on the site. All brilliant reading.

The second is Strange Maps which is a blog that pulls together some of the most peculiar maps of the world giving a whole different perspective on how some people and organisations viewed the layout of their planet's land masses.

Lastly, there's Ron Little's blog, Barebones Hardcore. For those who don't know him, Ronnie Little was the vocalist of the now defunct hardcore band, Rain on the Parade. The band ruled and so does this blog. It's just a shame that Ronnie stopped writing last year. Still, what is on there makes for great reading. Especially the post about hardcore benefit shows.

Happy reading, readers.
