Sorry, slip of the big digit on small device. Joe, you really need to read more history, it isn,t all political. there are many writers of good social and cultural histories, histories of music, art, architecture, many wonderful histories of food, what people eat and why... Histories of architecture, games, sports, fasihion. It is all there to be read and enjoyed. Then there are letters, diaries., newspapers and thousands of essays by ordinary people about things as diverse as keeping pigeons to what to put in a proper pasty. These are the histories of ordinary life, written by men and women who had little notion that they were keeping cultural records, they were just living life and that is good history. "
