I have always been fascinated by history but i never knew where to start with my leaning. I would like to take it up as a hobby of mine. I would like to know more about past history rather than recent evens in the last 100 years as I have more interest in the earlier times.
Can anyone recommend me a book that is really good for me to start learning? To me a history text book seems a little cliche and never has enough information. I have also thought about encyclopedias but its all by name and not in order by events.
In school i took American History and i liked that.
Right now i'm interested in Napoleon Bonaparte, The Texas Revolution, The Spanish Inquisition, and The Crusades
I have not studied those subjects yet, but i am interested in it.
I think studying history is a more interesting a beneficial thing to do rather than sitting around all day playing computer games and watching viral videos.
