I just finished The Greatest Story Ever Told -For Now by Lawrence Kraus. He's a particle physicist and he tells the story of physics from Faraday till the present. He tries to make it very accessible (there is no math), but parts of it are extremely esoteric, I thought. This planet has produced some amazingly smart people.
I'm currently reading Danubia, about the history of the Austrian Hapsburgs with a few mentions of the Spanish branch. It's a weird book with a bunch of anecdotes and jokes from the author. Not what I was expecting, but enjoyable so far.
