Yeah, my tastes in literature are a bit prolific. I've already got my next several books lined up- next is a book on the development of Italian tank forces between 1920 and 1940, then a book about Italian tank forces in North Africa during WWII, then a book from the Politically Incorrect Guide series (on Western civilization), and so on and so forth. I may have to look into those sci-fi books.

And on that topic, I actually don't really read much sci-fi, and most of what I do read is franchise stuff (mostly Star Wars), but a couple of really good books are the novels of Scott Westerfeld's Succession series. Originally it was all one book, but was then divided into two, The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds (no wiki article for that one.) You can sometimes find the one-book edition, but it's much more common to see the seperate novels in book stores. A very good book/books, and I'd highly recommend them for sci-fi fans. I gave them to my Dad for Christmas (he's big into old-school sci-fi, Heinlein, Bradbury, Asimov, and the like) and he loved them.
