One of my least favorite subjects in school was always history. I didn't enjoy studying it. I didn't enjoy sitting through history class. I just never could seem to commit historical facts to memory. In fact, my only two college C's were in my two required history classes. (I still regret that I didn't choose to S/U those two classes.)
As I've gotten older, I've realized I love history. But I love the history that I want to study. There are several historical events/things which absolutely fascinate me. The Titanic. September 11th. Anything related to Mt. Everest.
And, lately, I'm soaking up all of the interviews George W. Bush - "43" - is giving to support his book, "Decision Points." I've read - and enjoyed - a lot of non-fiction books about the "historical" events which interest me. I think this one will be next on my list.
