I read mostly non-fiction military history and science.
I recommend:
Origins of the War of 1914 by Luigi Albertini. Enormous detail about the diplomacy and social factors going on in Europe between 1871-1914, but a bit long.
1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow by Adam Zamoyski. Interesting descriptions of Napoleon and Alexander and the men who fought for them.
The Trail of the Fox by David Irving. The life of Erwin Rommel, the military genius.
Visual Brain in Action by David Milner and Melvyn Goodale. Showing how the brain converts vision into movements (my area of study).
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. Bizarre consequences of brain damage.
The Shattered Mind: Alexander Luria. Classic text by a pioneer in neuropsychology.
