I’ve always read historical books. Guess it makes me a dull guy, but I’m always intrigued to find out how we, the human race, got from point A to point B. To me, there’s a lot of truth in the saying “Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it” (coined by writer George Santayana, who, oddly enough, I know nothing about). I’ve always used historical works to frame current events – makes reality a bit more palatable.
