Right now I'm reading Escape from Rome. Which is basically 'why did the Roman Empire rise, and why was there never another Empire like it in Europe?' and 'Why is this a good thing'
Lot of comparissons between China and Europe. So Europe only had Rome as a hegomonic Empire while China had the multiple dynasties which would end up putting China back together when they collapsed and why that is.

The other book I read before was Charlemagne, King and Emperor. Bit of a slog at the end but it's a thorough book. Lots of primary sources used and a lot of notes.
