I have finished a review of Forces of Habit: Drugs and the Making of the Modern World by David Courtwright for the New England Journal of Medicine.  I really enjoyed the book.  I have suggested it to our undergraduate "History Book Club" for summertime reading.

The book is engaging to read, and provides a truly broad perspective.  I recommend it highly.
