The Penguin History of the World goes from pre-human to recent times in around 1,300 pages and is a very easy read, whether right through or just those parts which interest.
Current edition is the sixth, I think, and is available in paperback and eBook (Kindle and ePub2, Amazon's Kindle appears to be much cheaper than Kobo ePub2). Some earlier editions (the 5th, at least) were called The New Penguin History of the World.
