Title: History
Post by: KnuckleBuckett on May 26, 2015, 01:29:40 PM
I try to alternate my reading (reading = podcasts, audio books, books, and ebooks) between learning things and just plain amusement.

I tend to enjoy history quite a bit.  However I try to make sure that the history is relatively unbiased.  Not the crap generally fed to us as young adults.

I would recommend the following...

Ever listen to Dan Carlin? I listened to a little of his WWI series and it was pretty entertaining
