SPQR (Mary Beard)
An interesting history of Rome from its foundation to the Emperor Comodus (of Gladiator fame). Thorough and obviously well researched, but readable and accessible if you don't know who all these people are. Also not just a list of Famous Men and Battles Fought but also details about every day life in Rome.
The Flux (Ferret Steinmetz)
I read Ferret's first book (Flex, to which this is the sequel, there will be a third - Fix) because I read his blog and find him entertaining. I read this one because I wanted to know what happens next.
