"Caesar, Life of a Colussus" by Adrian Goldsworthy. Pure kino and very detailed.
"Julius Caesar" by Phillip Freeman is like the more condensed version and doesn't focus as much of the time of Rome before Caesar like In Goldsworthys book.

I'm reading Goldsworthy's book right now, it's great. Not dry at all and with some great humour sprinkled in (eg Bibulus getting dung emptied on him)
