WWI is the interesting one. Just a few years ago I read yet another on that even more worse than useless conflict. Great way of dealing with depression for me.
Loved Wilfred Owen at school, then Siegried Sassoon. The 'Regeneration Trilogy' by Pat Barker has them as characters in some mental hospital while Sassoon tries to decide whether he would rather fight in the war or endure the home front. He goes back, having thrown his military medals in a river. The psychiatrist, Rivers, is a gem.
I heard a podcast saying that the Jesus story was a retelling on earth of an esoteric myth about the same thing in the heavens. Without doubt we need salvation.
You follow Australian politics? I don't advise it.
