For historical fiction with a military theme I like the Sharpe series from Bernard Cornwell. I also like the Horatio Hornblower series from C.S. Forester. A third series I like are the books from Sven Hassel that give a perspective of the German army during WWII from a common soldier's perspective.
For historical fiction I like all the books from James Clavell. |

I love anything by Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Edgar Allen Poe. My most favorite book though, is Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I'll read some Stephen King once in a while and my favorite book series is the Resident Evil series by S.D. Perry. Honorable mention goes to Max Brooks and the most influential zombie themed writings The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z.

For those who enjoy "historical" military fiction like the "Sharpe" series .. may I recommend a series by Simon Scarrow ... set in Roman times & following the "adventures" of Centurion Macro & his sidekick Cato ...
http://www.scarrow.co.uk/page12.html Another author well worth seeking out is Conn Iggulden .. he's written two major trilogies .. one in Roman times .. the other, the story of Genghis Khan from boyhood to his death .. enthralling ... http://www.conniggulden.com/

Cookbooks that are well-written can be fun reads! I don't know any particular authors...But cookbooks prove utilitarian time and time again.
Right now I'm enjoying a textbook on soil microbiology that is coauthored by David Sylvia among others. |
