        I'm enjoying A Short History of Nearly Everything and Michael Palin Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years at the moment.
        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              Liddell Hart is very good - I just wish he was able to write more detailed history of what happened on the Eastern Front.

                "A short history...." was utter tulipe. (IMHO of course)
                Recent non fictions that I can recommend are:
                Dreams of my Father - Obama (autobiog)
                Alex and Me - Irene Pepperberg (about a talking parrot)
                Yes Man - Danny Wallace
                Confessions of an economic Hitman - John Perkins
                Freakonomics - Levitt somebody
                Zero the biography of a dangerous idea - Seife.

                A varied bunch there.

                Other recent ones to avoid would be aforementioned Short history and the Bill Clinton Autobiog.
                "Israel, Palestine, Cats." He Said
                "See?"

                    Courage .... Gordon Brown.

                    Hang on, you said non-fiction.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
