I started reading Crazy Horse and Custer but I don’t have much patience for non-fiction so I haven’t gotten further than the beginning of the civil war part yet. Most of it might seem like common knowledge to Americans but I find the description of the (d)evolution of the midwestern landscape and ecosystems based on the boom of agriculture as well as the structure or lack thereof of Native American society to be some of the most interesting parts yet.
They don’t count as books but I’ve listened to the Manson episodes of You Must Remember This based on QT3 recommendation in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood thread and thought they were quite informative.
Otherwise I have read some B. Cornwell Saxon Stories books that although fictional are quite true to history as far as I understand (however hard it can be for that time period).
Just like long games I have trouble finishing books but they can be hard to put down if you hit the right one.
