Sorry if this is too broad. I'm interested in reading some books on the history of the world, but obviously there's so much material out there. What would be /his/'s starter pack for such a thing? In particular I'd enjoy some in-depth views starting from antiquity going forward, as well as varied regions like Asian history, etc.
Pic unrelated but something like this (if it doesn't already exist) would be helpful for the budding /his/torian.

Stop thinking through a 4chan lens
Not everything has to be in a "starter kit" or a "/his/ approved" list.
Ask for a period of history, or a certain event/person, etc and I'll help you out

It is better to discover books on yer own. But here's some ideas:
- War and peace and war - Peter Turchin
- Look for some book on the Silk Road there are several
- 1491 and 1493 by Charles Mann, it covers South America and its effect on Europe and beyond
I am personally looking for something on Africa, Australia and Polynesia. So if anybody got any ideas, hit me up!

i know they're sort of meme-tier but the "Very Short Introduction" series books are always decent.
