Dude with a load like that you need something light and non-shitty. Grab Follett's Eye of the Needle.

If I gave you the impression I didn't like the Durant books, it was an error of mine. The early ones are great. Take the one you're reading - what is it, 900 pages that blitzes through six thousand years and three continents? That shit is positively bracing compared to 1100 pages that covers 1783-1822 in France, England and Germany.

The Millennium Trilogy books are pretty great if you don't focus on them too closely. They're like Dan Brown done right.

You got plenty of polymath points, mang. Focus on something more applicable to your life for now. ;-)

Your body of knowledge is diverse enough. Stop making the rest of us look like slackers. =)
