For almost two years now, I've been reading R.A. Salvatore's Legacy of Drizzt series. The legacy itself is 13 books long, starting with The Crystal Shard. Start there. I'm completely hooked I think I'm 20+ books in right now...
Currently reading "For My Country's Freedom" - by Alexander Kent - fiction.
This is part of the Richard Bolitho series (late 1700s early 1800s British Navy stories)
Good, easy action packed reading, solid character development, excellent/interesting details and perspectives on life aboard those "ship of the iine" vessels - those dudes were tough a$$ mothers in those days.
Similar genre, but Army instead of Navy, the Richard Sharpe series (ie Sharpe's Rifles) by Bernard Cornwell. Also a fun, easy, action packed read, with historical perspectives of Europe in the early 1800s, the evil Frogs, and a few likable, and bad-guy characters etc. Sharpe is a beast.
I never understood why back in those days, they would simply line up and shoot each other........now it makes sense.
Just finishing up The Poisonwood Bible-excellent writing. If you are looking for some good non-fiction read Endurance. Chronicles the failed Antarctic crossing expedition of Lord Shackleton and crew-those were some (real) manly men-unbelievable what they went through.

Salvatore is the man if you into fantasy. Read all the Drizzt book twice and look forward to the new one this Oct I think.
If you’re into war/military books I recommend Lone Survivor about a 4 man SEAL team being overrun from the perspective of the only surviving member or Fighter Pilot: memoirs of Robin Olds, very good book from his days in WW2 and Vietnam up until his death a few years ago
I just started the third book of the Song of Ice and Fire series. If you're a fantasy fan, I'd say it's well worth checking out.
I just started the second book of that series. It's a good read.
+3 I read the first 4 books and waiting for book five in paperback... i hate hardcover books...
in the meantime I'm reading The Walking Dead Vol. 14 (graphic novel series) and Star Wars X-Wing Series (on book 4 of 9)

I've almost started the Drizzit series like 4 times... I might have to read that this winter...
I'm also reading/listening to: Mitch Rapp series (Vince Flynn), Black Hawk Down and Rainbow Six...
a really cool book that I recently finished is World War Z.. the audiobook on that is great too, but it's abridged...
I love Clancy. Though I haven't read anything in a while. If you like American history check out " When the river ran backwards " it's full of interesting bits of history info you probably never learned in school.

A nice light read and she is funny as two 'coons fighting over a water balloon covered in Peanut Butter! Hyuck Hyuck!
