   He probably doesn’t go in order of the chapters, he just looks for any good one to read in the book

   History is just gossip with the “zing” taken out of it.

   I made a point of saving the old history books I’ve bought over the years. Starting in the 1990s, “revisionist” history started becoming common. One of my favorites is a no-nonsense encyclopedia of WWII the british compiled. Most of it would be too politically incorrect today.

    History is not names and dates. Real history is people and thoughts and events. I learned this when I discovered diaries and letters. Maybe I’m just a snoop, but I love reading “I was there” history. What will future historians do, now that blogs and email have taken over? In a hundred years all of this technology will be obsolete and inaccessible, while we are still able to decipher stone tablets, engravings and papyri of the past couple of millenia and more.
    “The reader would not believe that such things could be, but I was there and I saw it,” says Izaak Walton somewhere in his writings. Some of us are still reading it, too, Zack.

    I am a devotee of history. I devour history books as well as historical novels.

    I have a friend who swears he has never read a novel; has never read a piece of fiction in his life.

    If you knew him I think you might believe him.

    I read somewhere that drinking scotch was bad for me; I immediately stopped reading.

    You should probably ask yourself if you feel lucky. Because someone is going to care that you don’t.
