IMO it's too broad. You need to have something you want to learn more about and then try to find a couple of different books on the subject to get a clearer picture. My interest grew when I had the realization that you can easily spot "gaps" in history, if you just start asking "Why?" Example: This country invaded that country. Why? History is full of cause and effect. The fastest way to figure out where you're not getting the whole story is if there's not a "Why?" or the reason simply doesn't make sense. I enjoy US history, but I've learned to gravitate towards topics that simply don't get discussed much in the "highlights", with the highlights being the American Revolution and WWII. Just for example, the War of 1812, French and Indian War aren't talked about much but are pretty interesting. Learning about the Cold War by reading Skunkworks was really cool. There's a book called The Code Book that is a great read and covers a lot of "history of encryption" during wartime that I really enjoyed. On the Biblical side of things, I went down a rabbit hole trying to track the migration of the Jewish Tribe of Dan from Cyprus and their influence on Greek/Roman mythology. Just really interesting stuff to me so I even blogged about it. https://www.readnotmisled.org/p/was-herculesjewish-biblical-influences https://www.readnotmisled.org/p/was-herculesjewish-biblical-...
