What are you favorite history books? Mostly looking for classic works... not the modern crap out there. Some of the best ones I've read are:
The Fall and Decline of the Roman Emprire, by Edward Gibbon
The History of the Conquest of Mexico, by William Prescott
Democracy in America, by Alexis de Tocqueville
A History of the Modern World, by Palmer, Colton, and Kramer
The Civil War: A Narrative, by Shelby Foote
France and England in North America, by Francis Parkman
