Well ... I'm not a fan of history itself, but I have enjoyed a couple of books on the history of science. Reminds me of a university experiment which in the Freshman year took all the subjects and taught an integrated curriculum based around history. So you got the politics (wars and governments), science, math, arts, music, daily life, exploration, and so forth. I think that's a fantastic way to tie things all together. Probably a good reason why reading some of the books covering history and science (or history of science) has been such a pleasure for me who normally avoids non-fiction.
I'll go with whichever book is selected. (Of course, I'm also going to be acquiring and reading the rest of the Steerswoman series during June!)
