Methinks I cannot stop reading this.

It's a diary from 350 years ago that has been turned into a blog.

They drink in the morning at different pubs all the time.

And eat pease porridge, gamble, fight, and worry about the smallpox and getting fired.

"So to bed, where my wife and I had some high words upon my telling her that I would fling the dog which her brother gave her out of window if he [dirtied] the house any more."

Ok, you're gonna freak out. The name of the book triggered something in my head. So I went a-searchin' in my bookshelves. Months ago, when I went to the grocery store, I bought the same book! It was on sale for $1.99 & I saw it on a rack. Well, the cover itself looked pretty enough, so I bought it. I haven't cracked it since I bought it, but I have it! OMG how wild is that?!
