It’s more that I have my favorite novel half memorized and that can count as the context in the sentence “figuring it out from context”, and I don’t have any history book memorized the same way.
I can envision history books being as fun as The Magicians (which is why I want the ability to read them), but can’t identify the interesting ones ahead of time. I think the transition step is reading the same history book in English and German, which I’ve identified some candidates for.
