Here are my recommendations for readings on Korean history. The list is somewhat heavy on Chosŏn (1392-1910) history mainly because it is my main research interest. If you are interested on more readings on Chosŏn history, feel free to shoot me a message.

For a general Korea reference and read there is alway the "dictionary" types of books like "Korea: A Historical and Cultural Dictionary" (google books link with preview)
however they can be a bit limited, thankfully there is "The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty" however, the vast majority doesn't have official english translation available. Though the first part does have a translation in "The Annals of King T'aejo: Founder of Korea’s Chosŏn Dynasty" available from amazon (cheaper) or Harvard Uni. Press and if you ever wanted to learn Korean here's the whole of the annals in Korean (all 1,893 volumes), they are in the process of a complete translation (started in 2012) though it won't be done until the 2030s because of the sheer volume to translate.
