Do you have any history book recommendations?
by Cayitam ＞ April 30th, 2025, 8:47 a.m.
Hello there, I’m writing to see if anyone happens to have any suggestions for history books. Perhaps you’ve read some good ones recently. I’m really interested in finding a new history book to read, so I hope someone may have a recommendation. It would be great if you could let me know what you think is worth reading.

Hi, Cayitam! I’d recommend Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It’s a fascinating introduction to human history, telling the story of humans from ancient days to today’s modern world. The book talks about big turning points in human history. Harari also asks interesting questions, such as whether things like money or nations are just “stories” we all believe in together. It’s an easy-to-read book that makes you think differently about history. Happy reading!
