What are some comfy history books? Like "The Basque History of the World" by Mark Kurlansky.

>> No.18246921

>>18246893
Tales of the Early Franks by Augustin Thierry

It's long out of print, but still can be found cheaply.

Read more Kurlansky for comfy microhistories, I liked his one about paper the most. A good Jew.

I'm really enjoying David Hume's History of England, the prose is slammin'.

The Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme

Written in 1939. Triggers modern historians for some reason. So you know it's good.

I enjoyed both “pop histories” from her and Kurlansky, yes. She fleshes it all out, legends and all. Tells you what is dubious before she writes it too.
