What are some books that are a must-read for every history fanatic? No specific time period.

Maybe not a must-read, but Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game is an interesting book about the rivalry between Russia and Britain in the 19th century, with a specific focus on Central and Southern Asia.

Seconding this, it's great.

I probably wouldn't consider this a must read, but personally I enjoyed God's War by Christopher Tyerman.
