Book recommendation thread

Where someone can say what kind of book they’re after and other people can suggest something.

I’m currently really into history books, especially stuff like Tom Holland, very narrative, good easy reading. I wondered if anyone knew of a book like that, that instead of looking at a particular period of history, looked at capital / class struggle / etc throughout history?

i was gonna do a book recommend thread today as i’m struggling with my current book and have been for ages.
not sure what i’m on the lookout for

I was going to do (something like) this too but thought I’d just get told to look at the books you’ve read thread
