I'm a pleb, I was gonna read Ian Morris, but haven't done so yet. I highly enjoyed Charles Mann series on the New World, as well as Peter Turchin, and I admire the latter for trying to make history more scientific. Turchin is ridiculed and some don't take him serious, but at least he provides a testable model.
Vanished Kingdoms by Norman Davies was interesting though I didn't care for some of the details.

I've read a few other books, some in my native language, all of which I don't feel like sharing.
