Haven't read too many But I am currently reading this - she was the first woman to be PM of Israel, and she's been there since the 1920s. Seen it all, for real. People interested in a bird's eye view of Israel from someone with skin in the game can do worse than this book. PS Coincidentally she was born in Ukraine

Haven't read many but "Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman" changed my life. It was during a point in my life when I had got bored out of science due to school. But it showed me just how much fun it is when exploring stuff on your own.

“Memorabilia” - Xenophon’s recollection of the life of Socrates. I love that he titled it “Memories” and not “Memories of Socrates”, implying that these were somehow his memories par excellence, despite his being a successful Athenian general and writing a brilliant sequel to Thucydides’ History.

Grant + Titan cover the late 1800s-early 1900s really well.

The Wise Men by Walter Isaacson is a great look at the 1950s and modern America. Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday is great, esp given current tensions.

Van Gough: The Life It’s an intimate portrayal that gets into the nuances of the artist’s life, without getting lost in minutiae. One of those biographies that I kinda felt like I knew the subject on some human level after reading. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40819475
