I really enjoyed the Mental Floss History of the World. A really easy read considering the subject matter.

I was recently given a copy of [Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President](http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Republic-Madness-Medicine-President/dp/0385526261/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323524778&sr=8-1).

I highly recommend it.
