Mark Kurlansky's History of 1968 is pretty good and will keep you going for a fair while.

Jan Morris's book on Venice called "Venice" is just superb.

Dark Horse by Kenneth Ackerman if you're into American history, 1880 style. Very readable and well written.

I'm currently reading a fantastically depressing book called "Isonzo" about the Italian front during WWI. I'm up to the tenth battle (out of eleven) and Italians have advanced about two miles at a cost of about 500,000 men.

It's well written and deeply disturbing. I got my copy at the local library.

(It's a quick read and very entertaining futurist fiction.)
