now let me rephrase that. I know it's not possible to know everything. But I want to gain a better understanding of the world, of history and want to be able to see patterns across time.
I want to be able to understand history. I want to learn and understand, not rote memorize. I want to learn in a fun way.
are there books like that? I'm not looking for a topic in general, I just want to understand more about how the world works, get into history aswell.
