if you like history and chess, here's a must read. it's "Birth of the Chess Queen- A History" by Marilyn Yalom.
the primary focus is taking the reader on the journey from an impotent piece (Vizar) to the most powerful piece on the board-the queen. the narrative chronicles the birth, migration and evolution of chess.
relatively easy read crammed with facts and interesting narrative on olden times.
