What are the best non-fiction books that don't require you

First of all, stop being retarded and read more.

Second of all, H.H. Scullard is a great roman historian who I find to be quite accessible.

But if you're really poorly read and must be spoonfed your history in an entertaining yet persuasive way, Erik Larson is the place to start.

i made this thread because i like non fiction and plan to eventually get into the greeks and cover all the major philosophical works at some point in my life but right now i just want to read comfy non fiction books. could be anything, doesn't have to be history or philosophy. could be a book about termites and ant eaters for all i care

What for non-fiction are you interested in? I know psychology, biology and a few others.
And I have to say, the more of it you read, the easier the next one becomes to understand, especially when it is biology.

I have not read it yet, but seems like a good choice
If you like that maybe Sapolsky's Behave is something for you

Plutarch
Montaigne

I've been meaning to read Montaigne for a while. Surprised that I can read him without prereqs.
