What non-fiction should I read to learn about the world and how it works?

In other words, I've only really ever read fiction/poetry, and have realized that I need to supplement this with more non-fiction. Any recommendations will help.

All of it? What about the world in particular are you interested in?

I suppose mostly history, but I'm not sure where to start.

If American, read Lawrence M. Friedman's books American Law and History of American Law to discover the ways and means of practical justice. Unless of course youre a lawyer!
