"Mohammed and Charlemagne" by Henri Pirenne is a great starting point. It's a good, relatively light overview not of the Middle Ages as a whole, but of the cultural, political and economic transition from the Europe of the Roman Empire to the Europe of the Middle Ages.

I've read some Plato and quite a bit of Aristotle, none of it really addresses what I'm thinking about. I just got Philosophical Investigations, which from synopses I've read might tackle it, but I'm not sure if a single book will be able to satiate my thoughts. Not that my thoughts on the matter are deep at all, but I'd like to consume everything and anything about the topic.

Company K by William March
Far and away the best book ever written about WWI. Better than All Quiet on the Western Front or Goodbye to All That or any of the other classics. But that’s the problem–WWI was awful, perhaps the most awful thing of the 21st century. And this book is forgotten precisely because it portrays the war and its pointlessness too realistically. We want to know, but we don’t really want to know.
