One of the things I've mused to myself as I drive to work (hey I'm in the bloody car for 1.5 hours a day) are the holes in my knowledge of History. I'm reasonably well read on the Tudors but that's about it.
I did buy the BBC Series "This Sceptred Isle 55bc - 1901" which was excellent but I have it on tape and my car now has a CD player :( If you haven't heard it then I recommend it
I like readable stuff like Alison Weir and David Starkey. So can someone recommend some good stuff on the following.
Rome
Greece
Medieval European History
British History SINCE 1605
WWI

Mr Blogs has a book about WW1 The Experience of World War 1 by JM Winter. I haven't read it, but he seemed to like it. The Great War and Modern Memory by Paul Fussel is very good too, I had to read a chapter of it at college but liked that so much I read the whole book.
Bettany Hughes does some good programmes about the classical era, I haven't read any of her books but I assue they would be ok too.
