I used to read quite a bit of non-fiction and learnt so much but I need something that's still enjoyable to read and not too complicated – something I still want to read after a long day at work kinda thing.
I prefer historical topics, particularly ancient history and am particularly wanting to expand my knowledge of indigenous America and pre-modern far east Asia.
