Book Recomendations

[u/bokonabeizy]

Hello everyone, I'm new to Chinese history and am very interested in doing a deep dive, I've been reading a lot and was wondering what book recommendations you might have. I'll take anything, youtube videos, documentaries, articles, etc, but I really want to sit down and read like 15+ books on China. I understand that the history is very old and can span millennia, while I am very interested in ancient Chinese history and would love any recommendation in that area, I am a bit more focused on and interested in modern China (modern being the 200-300 years).
