[Eperitos]

Well I read mostly Historical Fiction so that will be the largest part of my list here.

Steven Pressfield - loved Gates of Fire and esp. Tides of War
Patrick O'Brian
Robert Graves
Dorothy Dunnett
John Kennedy Toole - Confederacy of Dunces must be read by all!


I also love older stuff

Homer - "And not one man came forward who did not stab his body, glancing torward a comrade, laughing: "look how much softer he is to handle now, than when he gutted our ships with roaring fire." (I Love this part)

Ovid
Cervantes
Alexandre Dumas

Nelson Demille's John Corey novels are great. Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho is also very good.
