I Love History

I think that about half of the books on my shelfs are history books. I have a deep fascination with history, especially Western history because, as Niall Ferguson puts it, the most important question in history is how the West became so dominant over the past five centuries.

There are several books that try to answer this question (including one by Niall Ferguson himself).

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond

The Wealth and Poverty of Nations by David Landes

Civilsation by Niall Ferguson
