For me it is 19th Century American history - mostly from 1830-1890. Pre-Civil War politics, the Civil War, reconstruction politics, westward expansion, Tombstone history. What interests me the most is that people haven't changed in the least since those days - only the circumstances of their lives.

just read it with a big smile dude
1956 never really got over the fact that the 1957 Chevy came out a year too late for it. The mental trauma associated with this event caused 1956 to have a temper tantrum that destroyed Bikini Island with teeny ween its bits ....... nuclear bomb.
1956 was also the beginning of the “Reign of the Rat,” as Mickey Mouse the Great came to power in Disneyland in that year. His reign of terror (which lasted until 1970) scarred an entire generation. One of the first moves by the new Mouse regime was the ethnic cleansing of the Pirates of the Caribbean from Castaway Cay.
On a lighter note,
1956 was also the year that Crack was invented by Edwin P. Crack, noted Canadian chemist and shoe salesman. It was also the year in which Ohno succeeded Lord Weirdo as Protector of the American Way.
1956 was a “good” year for microwaves.
In July, the Dionne Quintuplets joined together to form MEGADION in order to defend Canada against the previous year's Giant Ant Invasion.
Television came to Australia, and they were never the same again. They smashed their face on it because that's how they thought that is the way to turn it on.
The British communist Neil Clark defended the Russian invasion of Hungary, and argued that the Soviets should be allowed to resurrect the Austro-Hungarian empire under
Nikita Khrushchev.

My favorite time period in history is colonial United States history from about1763-1821 with focus on the Founding Fathers.
Specific Enough? :)

Definitely the time of the Roman Empire. I'd say between 100 b.c. and 1 b.c. These were the best years in my opinion. The world had changed in that particular period.

As a History undergraduate...it's hard for me to choose. I'm probably most fascinated by the early modern period and the industrial revolution.

I think I would prefer the modern technology but it would be interesting to be able to go to whatever time period you wanted for a short time, just to get the sense of what the people did, said and looked like during that period. In other words I would like to be a time traveler just to visit and observe. And then come back to the now.
