TOD: I have wide-ranging taste in history. Besides a great deal of Hollywood history, I have books on the Old West, A huge selection on The War of The Roses (particularly Richard III), a section in the library devoted to pirates and piracy, Several shelves on Jack the Ripper as well as Victoriana in general and British colonization (particularly the Raj). Boudicca (or Bodeacia), Hastings and 1066, Vikings, Roman Britain, the Celtic world and Arthurian myth and history, Regency England, English crime and highwaymen. Ancient Greek and Roman history, The American Civil War, Early American pioneers and exploration (Boone, Sam Houston, Simon Girty, that sort of thing).
