I used to be a reading junkie, I just don't have enough time these days it seems.

Goodbye Darkness - William Manchester (A memoir about his time as a Marine fighting in the Pacific in WW2 - the best war memoir I have ever read, and I have read hundreds)
Soldat (Memoir of a German officer in WW2)
Panzer Commander - Hans Von Luck (another German memoir)
The Lord of the Rings books
100 Decisive Battle from Ancient Times to the Present
The Serpent and the Rainbow - Wade Davis (this guy is my hero - his current job is explorer in residence for the National Geographic Society)
Heavier Than Heaven - Charles Cross (Kurt Cobain bio)
The Stand - Steven King
Ortona/Juno Beach - Zulkhe (Canadian battles in WW2, the author lives in the same town as me)
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - Shirer
The Wheel of Time Series - Robert Jordan (I actually stopped reading them after the 7th book because its just dragging on and on, but the early books are awsome.

I could go on, but I've got to head to work soon.
