David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter
Rick Atkinson's Day of Battle
Stephen W. Sears's Gettysburg
James M. McPherson's Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief
President Grant's Personal Memoirs
Jon Meacham's American Lion
Jacobo Timerman's Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number
Andrew Roberts’s History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900
Nathaniel Philbrick’s Mayflower
Albert Camus’s The Stranger
Between his reading and his vacations, it doesn't look like he had much time for anything else.
