Warhammer 40k The Horus Heresy series is a great read. Only completed the first 3 though.

Basically you all need to put downl that £1 bargain bin paperback fiction stuff and pick up anything by Richard Dawkins or have a look at some Max Weber

If your into sci fi pretty much anything by David Weber is worth reading
Specifically the SAFEHOLD series is an awesome mix of scifi/historical fiction (Hands down my favorite book series)
He also holds one of the all time best selling sci fi series with the HONOR HARRINGTON series, which is space opera following the actions of a naval officer called (shockingly) Honor Harrington
Also a second hand suggestion from Campbell which is the ADVENTURES OF THE KETTY JAY series, 4 books and a great read all around

"Catch-22 is a satirical novel by American author Joseph Heller. He began writing it in 1953; the novel was first published in 1961. It is frequently cited as one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. It uses a distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient narration, describing events from the points of view of different characters. The separate storylines are out of sequence so the timeline develops along with the plot.
The novel is set during World War II, from 1942 to 1944. It mainly follows the life of Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier. Most of the events in the book occur while the fictional 256th Squadron is based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea, west of Italy. The novel looks into the experiences of Yossarian and the other airmen in the camp, who attempt to maintain their sanity while fulfilling their service requirements so that they may return home.
The novel's title refers to a plot device that is repeatedly invoked in the story. Catch-22 starts as a set of paradoxical requirements whereby airmen mentally unfit to fly did not have to do so, but could not actually be excused. By the end of the novel it is invoked as the explanation for many unreasonable restrictions. The phrase "Catch-22" has since entered the English language, referring to a type of unsolvable logic puzzle sometimes called a double bind. According to the novel, people who were crazy were not obliged to fly missions, but anyone who applied to stop flying was showing a rational concern for his safety and was, therefore, sane and had to fly."

Lately I've been reading the books written by a writer using the pen name Sven Hassel
His books describe the life of a group of men in the 27th (Penal) Panzer Regiment of the Wehrmacht in WW2.

Just noticed this thread so thought I'd continue it on.
I have many books but tend to listen to more audio books now in work, if you enjoy apocolypse/zombie stories I'd highly recommend the Mountain Man series.
I have a massive list of audio books in tons of different genres
