History

I've been reading a book about the Spanish Civil War to educate myself, and though the author gets very detailed at times, it's fascinating.

The thing I love about history is watching it unfold, much like a novel does... I can just see the events building up and all of the individual actions and decisions coming together in this massive web... things build on top of each other; ancient histories and memories affect the reasoning of a nation, or of a government; and so it goes.
