If you want something light, there's Unruly which is kind of a comedy recap of the early English monarchs. Accurate history but presented by a comedian.

If you like London and history and a sharp mind commenting on both (Liza Picard was a lawyer and an historian). her books are great for all the interesting, mundane, everyday facts:

It's so well written and really great -- I feel like not enough people read it because "Soviet Cooking" just sounds so unappetizing!

NP Thanks! This one looks good.
