I rarely follow reading suggestions because my tastes are peculiar. Most popular fiction is actually torturous for me to read. But your blog persuaded me to give Things Fall Apart a try (I have a feeling I may have read this already). Colonial history of Africa is something I've paid a lot of attention to. Actually wrote a couple of books for students (small books that don't sell!) about colonialism. Not making a pitch here. These books will never sell, but they are responsible and demanded a lot of research. Thought I'd touch base and let you know your blog resonated with at least one Steemian. I am following you. Sometimes Steem offers interesting reading, like today :)

I'm so glad you were inspired. As a researcher I can relate to how intimate sometimes our projects are. Only a small number of people may ever care but we do, right? There is a thoroughness to the process that is demanded in the quest for truth. Even then, after finding one truth, there's always that nagging feeling a different one out there exists if only I could find it. But more realistically, if only I had the time to search. It's a bit unsatisfying in that regard. Nice to meet you!
