On This Day In History
1666: The Great Fire Of London begins

Quote Of The Day
"God grant mine eyes may never behold the like, who now saw above ten thousand houses all in one flame, the noise and crakling and thunder of the impetuous flames, the shreeking of Women and children, the hurry of people, the fall of towers, houses and churches was like an hideous storme, and the aire all about so hot and inflam'd."
(John Evelyn)

It's become an unwitting tradition to blip my current reads on September 2nd these past three years. Who am I to break with tradition? I'm thoroughly enjoying this.
