What do you want to get out of reading? The answer to that should give you a few directions you could go in.

I’m a big advocate of learning history, it obviously influences everything in the present. It can be studied endlessly, anywhere from the largest of scope to minute details of an individual life. History can inform your reading of literature, psychology, the authors you read, the social and political situations we find ourselves in today, all the way down to personal circumstances. Science can do the same.

Once you decide what you want to get out of reading it becomes easier to pick out books to achieve that.
