For fiction I am a major Sci-Fi/Horror reader but I also read a lot of history stuff too. Here are a couple I read over this past summer.

1. Gangs of New York: Herbert Asbury, Very informative and entertaining read in making the movie Martin Scorsese must have taken a lot from this.

2. World War Z: Max Brooks, Stays true to the Zombie world of George Romero but modernizes it in a good way.

3. D-Day Stephen Ambrose. This is the one I am currently reading and so far it hasn't been disappointing, the facts are interesting and the writing is very well done. For military/WW2 history Stephen Ambrose is definitely one of my favorite authors.
