Reading History is my hobbie. I m not into particular time frame or country. I like and want to read every bit of world history since civilizations started. But I have limited time 😭. My most favourites are those major events/leaps which changed human societies like early civilizations, Sumer. I am very interested in knowing how humans decided to abandon hunter gatherer's life and chose agriculture and settled down. So I read more about all ancient civilications around the world. And being Indian, I closely follow all new developemnts in Indus Valley civilizations especially genetic study. Then second leap was from first settlements to first kingdom Akkadean kingdom. Again I want to know why those town people decided to follow one king/emperror. The changes from one kingdom to other doesn't interest me much unless it is very eventful. The other major/leap events like Monglian empire, Prophet Mohamamd era, starting of European colonialism, World war II interest me. So I choose such events and read around it/watch documentaries. Ideally I want to knwo everythign but I know it is not possible.
Whenever I travel or go for holidays to other countries, I make sure to read their history before visiting. Atleast have overview from early cviilization, ethnic groups to modern times, food, langusge everythign.
