What period in history fascinates you the most?

My degree was in history (special subject was the French Revolution) but it seems like a lifetime ago. I can barely remember any of it so it's my new year's resolution to start reading more and hauling the old knowledge out.

I'm as fascinated with WW2 as I ever was as a geeky child, but I also particularly enjoy Renaissance history and a good old king and queen story.

If you have any book recommendations that would be great.

This is a fascinating insight to people from a particular era. I never knew that muslim pirates used to sail up estuaries and grab folks from the west country and south west Ireland.
