Just finished Ceaser by Adrain Goldsworthy. I thought it was a great read. It was a bit slow to start with but as soon as you got through the first few chapters where he introduced all the different leaders of the time and their backgrounds you won't be able to put it down.
The Favourite Game - Leonard Cohen Steppenwolf - Herman Hesse Crome Yellow - Aldous Huxley Bob Dylan in America - Sean Wilentz the list is endless really
I'm currently reading "The Man who Broke into Auschwitz" by Denis Avey. It's a fantastic book, and I haven't even reached the Auschwitz bit yet. At the moment, it's his account of the battle against Italian forces in the African desert. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in WW2, but even then, I don't consider myself a WW2 enthusiast at all, but I'm still enjoying it.
The Millennium trilogy The first book, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was a bit slow to start with but is a seriously good read even though it is a bit twisted, and I'm surprised that they managed to whittle it down to an 18 rating for the film. I read the second two as soon as I bought them.

Eight Days of Luke, read it as a kid and it is still a good read regardless. Even if you are adult and deem it for kids, which in my book it isn't (excuse the pun), if you have kids they will like it.
