What should I learn about in 2018?

I spend 2016 learning new things, and 2017 learning new skills. I think 2018 should be a combination of both. I would like to spend most of the year reading history. I’m open to biographies as well. I need recommendations, though. I’m opening comments to allow for those. Or, tweet me. Here are my top level thoughts:

History/Biography

  • Roman Empire
  • The Civil War
  • World War I
  • World War II
  • Nazi Germany
  • The Revolutionary War
  • The Dark Ages

Skills

  • Origami
  • Making paper airplanes
  • Cocktails – complex stuff

What am I missing? What should I read? If you don’t help me, I’ll have to pick for myself!
