 | Reformation : Europe's House Divided 1490-1700 by Diarmaid MacCulloch
Buy new: £9.97 / Used from: £7.50 Bought this in December (it's now august). It's enjoyable, but I never get round to picking it up. I'm around p.300

 | An Intelligent Person's Guide to History by John Vincent
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £3.45 This book's not even long! I've nearly finished it though. I'm not a slow reader, I just read about 10 long, heavy books concurrently.

 | History of the Jews by Paul Johnson
Buy used from: £31.95 I've just started this one, it's really interesting and well written. It's also about 500 pages, so it will be sitting on my pile for a long time.

 | The Iliad (Oxford World's Classics) by Homer
Buy used from: £0.01 I don't know what happened here, other than that I was up to the penultimate chapter but never bothered to read the ending. I know what happens anyway.

 | The Annals of Imperial Rome (Classics) by Tacitus
Buy new: £6.85 / Used from: £2.55 A surprisingly good read, I read the first half and haven't got round to reading the second half yet.

 | What is History? with a new Introduction by Richard J Evans by Edward Hallett Carr
Buy new: £6.28 / Used from: £4.91 I haven't started this one, but I need to if I want to study history at a good university.

 | In Defence of History by Richard J. Evans
Buy new: £5.91 / Used from: £4.15 See above, but to a lesser degree.
|
 | Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years by Jared M. Diamond
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £5.35 This book looks fascinating but at the moment history books are my priority, so this book is just sitting around on a bookshelf.
