I love history and have read several history books. However, I find that I am not retaining most of the information nor getting the main idea of the book.
History books tend to just have too much information for me to completely consume and comprehend. There are people that can ready a whole book and really "get it" and understand it.
I want to continue to read history books on my own. Does anyone have any tips on how to "really" read a book and get the jist of it?

I love to read and I love history. Mostly Ancient history and civilizations. Some history books are so boring though and I quickly lose interest. I want to find books on history that will capture my attention and will be difficult to put down. Are there any books like these? Are there also any history books that follow a story line? For example a fiction book that has a lot of historical facts about the place and times? I need books that will keep me interested.

If you love history, above and beyond read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, it is easy reading and will leave you thinking about the world in ways you never thought before. The basic premise is that the author was asked, Why was it that Europe invaded the rest of the world. While at first the answer seemed obvious, because they had the guns and ships to do so, the questioner rephrased, why did they have the technology to conquer the rest of the world, why didn't the Aztecs or the Zulus develop such things? The answer takes a book's length to explain, and it begins with the earliest days of what we would call man, an excellent read.
