What non bushcraft books do you read?

I just read Jared Diamond's books Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel which are interesting as well.

His last one, "Collapse" is also a very interesting read. It should be on the recommended booklist of every nation's political leader.

Fan of Bernard Cornwalls Sharpe (back on the TV in April) but not really a big fiction fan. I finished this yesterday. Highly recommand it if not a bit big.

Oh yea I forgot to add Collapse in my post, you see I mentioned "books" but only mentioned one

I agree that it's really a book to recommend to anyone.

After a conversation round the fire about books at a recent meet it was discovered that most of us there had read or were reading the same type of books!
These had nothing to do with bushcraft and it has set me wondering how many of us read the same stuff.
The ones that come up were by Terry Pratchett (Discworld), Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe) and Tom Sharpe, what non bushcraft books do you read?

Currently reading: 1776 (American Revolution) , Crucible of War (French and Indian War), and Will to Murder (concerns a local murder from the 1970s that I had some slight connection to. Interesting case - old mansion, old money, heiress and her nurse strangled).
