Any aspiring historians out there?

I've long had in mind two books, but realize that I'm unlikely to start - let alone finish - either:

50 years of revolution: Columbus, Luther, and Copernicus
The Jewish Century: Marx, Freud, and Einstein

Each has the advantage of focusing on a short period of time, with three central figures.

I've imagined these projects as both books and mini-series.
I am unlikely to complete either.

Please, someone - accept my gift!

Have a nice day.
