Non-fiction I'd recommend:
David Attenborough's books based on his TV series.
Russell's 'History of Western Philosophy'
The Barry Paris and Peter Cowie books on Louise Brooks
Richard Dawkins 'Selfish Gene', 'Blind Watchmaker'
Donald R. Morris 'The Washing of the Spears: the rise and fall of the Zulu nation'
E. H. Gombrich 'The Story of Art'
Denis Forman 'The Good Opera Guide'
Marcus Chown 'The Magic Furnace: The quest for the origin of atoms'
