Just wanted to thank everyone who recommend George R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series. I've just read the first two and am torn between reading the next two or waiting until he writes more.
Another suggestion is 1491 by Charles Mann. It's a great non fiction about what the Americas where really like right before Columbus 'discovered' them.
Also I've been getting into Pat Conroy's stuff lately, both the Great Santini and the Lords of Discipline are great reads. The Great Santini is a fictional retelling of his relationship with his crazy intense Marine father. The lords of Discipline part thinly veiled memoir of his time at the Citadel in the 1960's part thriller.
