I'd say my experience is the opposite. History was one of my least favorite subjects in school. However, reading historical fiction presented the topics in an entertaining way that got me more excited about the history behind the story. That made me research more about the books I was reading to separate fact from fiction so from there I branched into reading non-fiction and found it enjoyable too. Now I enjoy history very much, especially those books that combine historical fiction and mystery thrillers.
