Textbook Sleep #42: Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

Edward Gibbon’s *The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire*. Talk about too much information. Welcome to *Textbook Sleep*, the Maximum-Strength Sleep Aid. To help you sleep, we read aloud the boring texts that once put you to sleep in school. This famous six-volume tome has been making readers nod off since 1776. A good editor could have whittled it down to 150 pages or so. Or a short series of TikToks. Just enough for us to get the gist of it. Thank you, Project Gutenberg, for providing the free text. *This recording will end quietly.* Get full access to Pieces of Jim at jimnolan1.substack.com/subscribe
