You eat three times a day. But do you know what you’re eating? From prehistoric fire pits to fast food assembly lines, Lunchtime is the story of how food evolved—then got hijacked. This isn't a diet book. It’s a history of what meals used to mean, and how we quietly traded them for convenience, branding, and shelf life. You’ll follow the breadcrumb trail through: Ancient kitchens and imperial banquets, factories, war zones, supermarkets, and drive-thrus. By the time you finish, you won’t just think differently about food. You’ll feel it.

Rome was never just an empire. It was a myth made real. From wolf-raised kings to god-killed tyrants, 'Imperium Romanum' resurrects the story of the Roman Empire in the only way it ever made sense: as a living legend. Told with raw power and mythic clarity, this is no ordinary history book. It’s a retelling from the inside out—where truth bleeds into prophecy, and every fall echoes into the future. Follow the rise of iron and fire, through the betrayals of Brutus, the madness of Nero, and the collapse that shook the world. This is not a tale of statues and dates.

With metaphors, humor, and a sharp instinct for clarity, JJ walks you through the kind of topics that usually live in dusty college textbooks and brings them to life. You don’t need a PhD.

Before Heaven and Hell tells the true story of Zoroastrianism—the world’s first documented monotheism and the forgotten root of many modern beliefs.

African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley.

The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives.

Written with bite, clarity, and a streak of dark humor, this book doesn’t worship Alexander — it dissects him. Because he wasn’t a god. He was something scarier. He was human. With no brakes.
