What period/s of history interests you?
It's one of my problems with history in Virginia schools when I was growing up. Virginia history was Jamestown thru the Civil War with a week at the end of the year for everything after. U.S. History was Jamestown thru the Civil War...you get the point.
It's Bastille Day, so I've got the Les Miserables CD playing. (I know it's about the French. So sue me.) But even though I've read the book, I'm still fuzzy on how that all fits together.
I've spent some time reading about the Crown Heads of Europe and how they're all interrelated (a good number being Victoria's grandchildren).
But, alas, outside of Virginia, I am woefully ignorant.
I ain't all that bright here even...
