Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, if you haven't read it - it's a must. About why civilizations sprung up HERE rather than THERE.
I love this pulitzer prize winning thing called "Summer of the Gods" - forget who it's by but its a few years old. About the Scopes Monkey Trial and how the fallout of that has created the ongoing evolution debate that europe managed to skip. What really happened is pretty interesting.
For fiction I really liked "The Mysterious Case of The Dog Barking At Midnight" (hope the titles right). Written from first person perspective of an autistic boy in the UK.

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Trilogy. An historical fiction about the enlightenment.
Actually pick up the first book of the first volume in paperback. If you like it, go for the hardcover set - three volumes in hardcover which they're publishing as eight or nine volumes in paperback.
