Even during the Dark Ages?
Yup.
They were geographically limited and not as dark as reported
Any recommended reading?
In general or about the dark ages?
Yes
Fiction: If you’re in for a multi-book series, I recommend the Amber chronicles by Roger Zelazny.
Dark Ages related: The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751 or The Long Morning of Medieval Europe
Spiritual/Philosophical: Audiobook of The Art of Mindful Living by Thich Nhat Hanh
I’ve read the Amber Chronicles, although it’s on my re-read list. Is the Dark Ages non-fiction?
Yes
I will download it now.
