wasoxygen bought me a copy of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. That is high on the list. Just an incredible read with fantastic characters. I have been working my way through Winston Churchill's five book account of WWII. I've read three so far. Given that he is relating his first hand experience of leading the UK through the Nazi onslaught, there really isn't anything else like it. The books contain many letters between Churchill, his Generals, Ministers, and other Heads of State. It's very interesting to get a sense of their frame of mind when so much was uncertain.
