Also, if you are open to reading classical works, I would strongly suggest these:
Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico and his Commentaries.
Xenophon's Anabasis, Polity of the Athenians and Lacedaemonians, The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates and Agesilaus.
Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War
Geoffroi de Villehardouin's Memoirs or Chronicle of the Fourth Crusade and the Conquest of Constantinople
Snorre Sturlason's Edda, Younger Edda and Heimskringla (if you've an interested in the Vikings)
Procopius' History of the Goth Wars, History of the Persian Wars, History of the Vandal Wars and The Secret History
Polybius' The Histories
