Default Re: Recommend me some good historical reading

A general American History that I enjoyed:

Freedom Just Around the Corner : A New American History: 1585-1828 by Walter McDougall was a good read with an interesting perspective.

War and Peace in the Middle East: A Concise History by Avi Shlaim is, I believe, a well written and balanced account.

A History of Card Games by David Parlett is probably an example of what you said you didn't want: a narrow subject. But hey, this is a poker board and it's a fascinating book! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
