    I read all of the above but I'd say that sci-fi and fantasy make up the bulk of my collection.

    Best war book i've read is Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose.

    I've also read most of Andy McNabs books (the retired SAS chap)

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    READ it makes you seem smarter atleast. It also helps with your writing.

    For those who read Catch 22, you should read Something Happened. It&#39;s the sequel, which was written many years later, and stars most of the main characters in their retirement years. Wonderful book - imagine Yossarian with denture and diapers - anyway, it&#39;s just as good IMHO, and perhaps a little more tongue-in-cheek (if that&#39;s possible).
