I love History, so much so that I took a Degree in the subject back in 2005. I, too, love medical History, particularly the History of madness. I am currently reading Foucault's Madness and Civilization, a very complex and difficult read but well worth it. The book looks at Humour theory (black bile, yellow bile etc), cures (such as immersion, hot drinks etc) and how madness was segregated in massive Asylums during the Victorian period.
I am also interested in culinary, social and political History.
