I've read a bunch of his books this year; Pacific, Atlantic, The Professor and the Madman, Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, A Crack in the Edge of the World, The Map That Changed the World, Korea: A Walk Through the Land of Miracles, The Man Who Loved China, Collision of the World's Superpowers, and Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World.
