    Bold of you to assume the history of bread would be boring to me. I watched a whole documentary about bread, and I crave a sequel!

      I was hysterically laughing last night (part of it was prob just sleep deprivation) at the titles of all of these books and that I was trying to decide between the history of bread, book of architecture or 1995 sears catalog at 3am and laughed so hard I woke up my son 😂🤦‍♀️ That architecture one had me out cold insanely quick though so I'm excited for the Bread tonight

    This is the best sleep ASMR I've listened to. Fell asleep 2 hours ago while listening to this, and I now as I write this I am more awake and more alert. I've learn't more about the history about beard than another history channel could teach me, and I've retained a lot more Information then normal. Thanks a ton I think I'll subscribe and leave a like.

    What did I feel kind of offended when I heard the boring book's part even though I was searching for like boring lectures and stuff to put me to sleep last night and then I found this and I thought this is going to be too interesting to actually make me fall asleep and so I saved it and now I'm here to actually watch It

    This was a pretty interesting topic, if you ignore the fact that it's read pretty slowly. I have trouble falling asleep so when I put this on, I pretty much just listened to the story. I'm suprized you didn't fall asleep reading it. Like, when it was talking about Prehistoric Bread, then started getting into cereal, I'm like: "I thought we were talking about bread... Is cereal a type of bread?" I think heard this in Part 2 but it was talking about how bread was stored in jars or something. In Part 2 definitly it was talking about Herculies and stuff I was like: "Yeah, this isn't just a story about bread."

    • @BoringBooksPod
      @BoringBooksPod  6 місяців тому

      "Cereal" is any kind of plant that's made into bread, so wheat, oats, rye, etc. are all cereals. They were also all called "corn" back in day, whereas our corn was called "maize". Times and terms certainly change!
