Best world history you've read (with pics)

1. I am just finishing "A Little History of the World" by E Gombrich. It was written for kids but gives a good outline for 270 pages or so.
2. If you want more detail then "The Penguin History of the World" by JM Roberts. If I were studying history I would use this for an outline of any period and then supplement with other stuff.

I think there is a school house rock DVD with all the info you need on it.
