The best book I have read is called Ford: The Man and the machine. I like it because it tells alot about how the Fords lived, and how poorly he treated his whole family. It's the story about how Henry Ford started from rags and went rich in his thirties, and how he has shaped the automobile industry since then. It is a biography, so if you don't like biographies, there will probably be something in it for you. It's the story about how Henry Ford started from rags and went rich in his thirties, and how he has shaped the automobile industry since then. It has also been made into a tv miniseries in the late 1980s. You should see it.

Replay by Ken Grimwood
From amazon.com:
In this intriguing fantasy adventure, Jeff Winston, a failing 43-year-old radio journalist, dies and wakes up in his 18-year-old body in 1963 with his memories of the next 25 years intact. He views the future from the perspective of naive 1963: "null-eyed punks in leather and chains . . . death-beams in orbit around the polluted, choking earth . . . his world sounded like the most nightmarish of science fiction." But Grimwood has transcended genre with this carefully observed, literate and original story. Jeff's knowledge soon becomes as much a curse as a blessing. After recovering from the shock (is the future a dream, or is it real life?), he plays out missed choices. In one life, for example, he falls in love with Pamela, a housewife who died nine minutes after Jeff; they try to warn the world of the disasters it faces, coming in conflict with the government and history. A third replayer turns out to be a serial killer, murdering the same people over and over. Jeff and Pamela are still searching for some missing part of their lives when they notice they are returning closer and closer to the time of their deaths, and realize that the replays and their times together may be coming to an end.

I really, really, love "The Source" by James Michner. It has all the history I love to read about and it is cool the way he follows imaginary families from prehistoric to modern day times. There is love, drama, crime, punishment, politics and a few interesting social aspects. It is so whimsical the way he has some families stay very much the same and some change very much through time.
