假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，近来，通俗历史读物兴起，你的英国朋友Jim对此很感兴趣，写信向你询问此事，请你给Jim回信解释原因，内容包括：
1.通俗历史读物为何兴起；
2.建议对方也尝试阅读通俗历史读物。
注意：1.词数120左右；
2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
Dear Jim,

As the British philosopher Francis Bacon put it, “Histories make men wise.” However, academic history books are so difficult to understand that they make history a heavy topic for the general readers. Luckily, there are more popular history books on our shelves than before.
