Perhaps I shall do a more extensive list of my favorite history books some day, there's gotta be other people out there who are like wow, what a nice day, I think I'll go to the park and read about the Black Death

Would you, per chance, have any recommendations in the realm of more realistic adult fiction? Not adult rated! Books with the same energy as Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, whatever John Greene writes, and It’s Kind of A Funny Story. It takes me a long while to research books to read. 😣
Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues, by Jonathan Kennedy, is fascinating, very well written, and presents a “great microbes theory” of human civilization.
I lost the ability to read a novel or book not long after becoming disabled 20+ years ago with ME/CFS. I used to read 2 to 4 books a week. (Fortunately, I can read long articles again and research.)
The last book I really loved was The River Midnight.
