#3Open by Andre Agassi. Intriguing to read on the struggles of a tennis legend which were concealed at the time. He provides great detail and insights.

#9Catastrophe 1914 - Max Hastings : Great book about what triggered WW1, the state of the world at that time. Just a great read in general.
The Seven Military Classics Of Ancient China : Sun Tzu isn't the only military strategist on the block.
Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry: I make sure to study at least one university/high school textbook on any subject that I find interesting.
Also, not reading but watching Professor Jiang Xueqin's lectures [0] has been pivotal towards helping me find new avenues to research and understand geopolitics .
