I'm reading a number of books rn actually but 3 of them have to do with eachother. For fun I am reading a collection of Lovecraft's writing but for learning I am reading Prescott's History of the Conquest of Mexico and Peru, Bernal Diaz's Conquest of New Spain, and Bartolomé De Las Casas' A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies. Both of the latter are cited by Prescott here and there, I read them for added context. My hatred for Cortez grows by the minute
