My favorite subject in school has always been history; I loved reading the textbooks. Now that I am no longer in need of a history textbook at school, I can't really find a book that I like that doesn't feel like historical fiction.
As an American, we didn't really learn much about Tudor England, but it was always something that fascinated me… so why not continue the quest for knowledge?
Edit: for clarification
Sure it is. In the Resources section (right side of the page) of AskHistorians you can find a book list, under Britain you have a wealth of books about Tudor England. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/books/europe#wiki_middle_ages The Reformation and the English People by J J Scarisbrick (1985): another attack on Dickens, showing again, that the Catholic church was well loved by the Tudor lay-folk, and that the impetus for the Reformation came from above.
Reform and Reformation by G R Elton (1989): this argues that the Reformation in England was in fact a project of Cromwell, who used government to effect religious change in England.
English Reformations: Religion, Politics and Society under the Tudors by Christopher Haigh (1993): Another revision of Dickens, showing that rather than 1 Reformation, there are multiple reformations. Haigh again, emphasises the importance of the Reformation from Above as a political movement, rather than a populist one.
Tudor England by John Guy, a really good introduction to the period with plenty of detailed analysis of the major events that occurred under the Tudor monarchs (Henry VIII-Elizabeth I)
The 16th Century edited by Patrick Collinson. A fantastic collection of essays relating to the Tudors including some really insightful ones on culture, religion, and the fringe areas of the British Isles - great for both dipping in for short chapter-length essays but also for detailed study.
I also recommend that you listen to this nice introductory podcast from the BBC "in our time" I love this BBC series.

Typically you will learn about the Tudors first so you understand about the social, political and economic context of the time that led to the war itself instead of jumping into the war reading directly...enjoy.
