Hey, /His/. I'm interested in reading about the very Early Middle Ages. What happened after the fall of Rome, the Frankish and Gothic Kingdoms, The Lombards, etc. Have you any recommendations?
Its not for academic purposes, just personal curiosity and interest

In top on my mind, as entry mode:
>Before France and Germany: The Creation and Transformation of the Merovingian World
Patrick Geary
>The Early Middle Ages
Rosamund McKitterick
If you're interested in how the Frankish, Gothic, Vandal kingdoms emerged from the western Roman empire:
Guy Halsall, Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West, 376-568 ( 2007).

Last book I read on this time period was Framing the Early Middle Ages by Chris Wickham.

There are alot of videos by the same professors. Should be watched before spouting "muh immigrants" and "muh degeneracy" on /his/ like a retard
You should read some Geoffrey Chaucer
It's not VERY early middle age reading but it's primary source and pretty cool

Guy Halsall, The Making of Europe by Robert Bartlet, and Chris Wickham's Framing the Middle Ages are heartily recommended.
Framing the Middle Ages should not be recomended if just "personal curiosity and interest", his "Legacy of Rome" is more palatable for non-academic readers.
"Framing..." should be read after you have built some interest and knowldege about the Era.
