Good idea Yvan.

I've yet to come across anything I've liked written by a Swede - though I'm told Jens Lapidus' 'Snabba Cash' is good (even though the film was appalling).

For an environmental read, 'The Unnatural History of the Sea' by Prof. Callum Roberts is excellent.

Flying books? There's loads. Hard Landing by Thomas Petzinger makes a dry subject fascinating. Carrying the Fire (Mike Collins) and Man on the Moon (Andrew Chaikin) are great Apollo books; and for bush flying Bush Pilot with a Briefcase (Ronald Keith) is hard to beat. And combat? Palace Cobra by Ed Rasimus.

I could list tons more covering a wide range of subjects and genres, but I figured I'd just match my worst list as I need to get some reading done.
