Just finished "all the tea in China" by Sarah Rose. Wonderful and colorful history lesson on Robert Fortune, who stole tea plants and knowledge from China and brought them to the Western World.

Just started "Cities: the first 6000 years". It's a nice narrative on the differences and similarities between cities all over the world and all over the last 6000 years. Very interesting, trash focused (you learn a lot of a society by why they toss away!), and an easy read
