I'm always surprised when I genuienly enjoy reading nonfiction. Which is every time I pick one up. I should really just accept that I can enjoy things that are not purely based in escapism at this point. 

This is a wonderful essay turned book that explores the concepts of nationalism and what it means to write a country's history, of which Jill Lepore (author of These Truths, a 900 page history of the US) is certainly qualified to address. 

All in all, I think you just have to like a nonfiction book that makes you want to physically fight historical figures WWE style.
