Non-fiction history-related books, articles, and websites I think are worth reading. The materials listed here represent some, but not necessarily all, of my historical interests. The Tags column of the table is intended to make it easier to search by topic. For example, if you want to find all the materials related to queer history, you'd use Ctrl + F to search the page for "queer."
