I'm finally getting serious about writing and researching again. After a lot of false starts, I finally found an idea that I like in every way and in attempt to get more organised, I listed the books I've read, mean to read, or might read because they are vaguely related to my topic. Then I thought, why be coy? Why not share it?

Since I couldn't think of a legitimate "why not", I put it up on my blog http://theragsoftime.blogspot.se/p/resources.html

It's mostly late Victorian, Edwardian and WWI, with an emphasis on the political going ons in Central Asia and the Middle East. I'm sure they're mostly old news for some of you, but in case it might prove helpful to someone, I thought I'd link to it here. And you old Edwardian hands (hello, Evangeline :) ) would be ever so kind if you helped me expand it by a hint or two (and yes, I have bought excellent your pocket guide).

I know there's a sticky with resources on here, but maybe people have some good lists of resources for various eras and topics somewhere else? Wouldn't it be nice to share them here?

I might also add some rather negative views of the period:

Sassoon, Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man

Graves, Goodbye to All That

Ford Maddox Ford, The Good Soldier

Thank you for your suggestions. Will add!

I think I'm going to add a poetry section. Possibly a music one too, later on.
