I stumbled across this "A Very Short Introduction" series at the library and immediately fell in love. It exactly meets my desire to read about extremely esoteric topics (e.g., a history of the process of studying history) without requiring decades of my life.

Bonus: this first read in the series (History: A Very Short Introduction) is superb. John H. Arnold's writing is crisp and clever and smartly features numerous callbacks to previously introduced ideas. It's basically the best college-level history class you could ever take, but at your own pace and without a graded exam at the end.

You'll learn how the concept of "history" has changed over the years, as well as how the process of uncovering and recounting history has changed. It's all deeply fascinating and is a wonderful reminder of the unconscious biases we experience every day when recalling the past. Everyone just needs a few more grains of salt!
