I have quite a large book collection, most of it is Sci-Fi or High Fantasy.
Not sure if any of the titles would be what you'd be into but I can go ahead and list em all and see if you like 'em.

One of my favorite series of all time. If you like Jack Reacher and Sci-fi you are going to shit yourself.

Gridlinked by Neil Asher is Book 1.

If you like Michael Connelly you might check out George Pelecanos. He was one of the writers/producers behind the show The Wire. His books aren't action packed, but they are interesting crime dramas.

Also Harlan Coben writes some cool murder mystery type books.

I can also highly recommend The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy if you haven't already read it.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Alienist-C.../dp/0812976142

The year is 1896, the place, New York City. On a cold March night New York Times reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and former Harvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or "alienist." On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan's infamous brothels.

The newly appointed police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the two men in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler's intellect and Moore's knowledge of New York's vast criminal underworld. They are joined by Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in the police department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emerging discipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best), the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology-- amassing a psychological profile of the man they're looking for based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before. and will kill again before the hunt is over.

Fast-paced and gripping, infused with a historian's exactitude, The Alienist conjures up the Gilded Age and its untarnished underside: verminous tenements and opulent mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. Here is a New York during an age when questioning society's belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and mortal consequences.

I just finished outpost about a small military base in Afghanistan that nearly got over run by the Taliban.

Right now I am reading Titan about John D Rockefeller. I just started it last night so I don't know how good it is yet.

Finally, this may get my head chopped off, but it honestly isn't worth reading A Song of Ice and Fire, it's about 1.4m words or some shit in which absolutely dick all(of sustenance) has been resolved and which may actually not be finished at all(it's been how many years since Dragons now? And there's 2 more still to go.)

We're on the same page (see what I did there?)

I love the Dresden Files and just read the first of the Alera Codex series. Eagerly awaiting the next Dresden book out in May.

Dean Koontz is always a good read - currently reading 77 Shadow Street.

For good action oriented stuff I would also recommend Clive Cussler (at least the Dirk Pitt and Oregon series), Robert Ludlum (real Ludlum, not the crap coming out these days under his name), John LeCarre, and Michael Crichton.

Will Self is a good read. His stuff tends to be a little out there, but he is also a wordsmith who plays around with meanings.

Orson Scott Card is also a favorite of mine. He has a knack for character development. He has co-written a couple lately outside of his comfort zone and they are both quite good.

Chuck Palahniuk is kind of hit or miss, but for the most part I like his stuff.

Most John Barth is repetitive among the same themes, but I particularly enjoyed The Seventh Voyage of Somebody the Sailor.

Antarctic Navigation is one of the best books I have read.
