I'm just about to start the second year of uni, studying these four topics

Medieval England- 1066-1400
American History- Civil war+reconstruction
Early Modern England- (war of the roses-Glorious revolution)
World History- 1450-1750

So if anyone knows any books relating to them which they think will be good, give me a shout!

@barbu i've just finished a few weeks ago reading Kublai Khan by John Man, was excellent, really interesting. Have been looking for his Genghis Khan and Attila the hun. I've just finished reading a few days ago, 'A Persian Fire:the first world empire, Battle for the West' by Tom Holland, really interesting book, opened up that era of history to me that 300 left out- first of all being that there were close to 5000 of them there!

Right now im reading- 'Constantinople- The last great Siege, 1453' by Roger Crowley- quite interesting, though i imagine it could be a bit boring if you weren't into that era of history, basically showing the first uses of what became modern artillery and the siege etc.
