The Yamato Dynasty by Sterling Seagrave. The "secret" history of Japan's emperors, especially during World War II and after. A bleak story of how the Japanese people have been manipulated and how MacArthur made people lie about war crimes.
Citizens by Simon Schama. The French Revolution. I found the prologue confusing, but it's getting better as I get into it.
The Folklore of Discworld by Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson. All about the folklore of Discworld and parallels on Earth. If you're not a fan of Discworld, this is not the place to start; but if you are a fan, it could interest you.
Just started
Reread of Wizard by John Varley. The second volume in the Gaea trilogy. Great stuff.
