After knights and pirates it all gets pretty mundane.. I can appreciate the history of things like medicine, biology, math, etc..

Only if you're a mundane cretin, but history is indeed the ****.

The thing you have to realize about history is that no matter how accurately it's told or how well, you'll never be able to grasp or appreciate it in the way the people who lived it did. You don't have that problem in fiction.

Assuming I live long enough, I will be incredibly interested in reading the history of the Trump election and 9/11. I bet it's ****, any takers?

in fact quite a bit of fiction is just a repainting of history with dragons or something

Pretty sure they never repainted Ender's Game.

Some romance novel who cheaply uses tragedy. I'm accusing you of basic bitchedness.
