History isn't boring. It is not a dismal social science. Unfortunately, many historians seem to forget this. They appear to approach their craft as if one of two conditions must be met before publication: either the person writing it mustn't be having fun or the person reading it. I hope I am wrong about this, but more often than not this other thing appears to be the case.
