I like books with great well developed characters I can relate to.
Currently I am reading some Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughter House Five) and I'd have to say it is my favorite in a long time and it has historical content!
It is a 1969 novel by best-selling author Kurt Vonnegut. One of his most popular works and widely regarded as a classic; it combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device and the bombing of Dresden in World War II, the aftermath of which Vonnegut witnessed, as a starting point.
When the book was released, the bombing of Dresden was not widely known and was rarely discussed by veterans and historians. The book led to an increased awareness of the bombings and a reevaluation of the justifications given for aerial bombing of cities by the Allies during the war.
Here are some other favorites:
1. The Wold According to Garp by John Irving
2. Fire Starter by Stephen King
3. Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
4.The Stand by Stephen King
5. Jurassic Park by Michael Cricton
6. The Language of God by Francis S. Collins
7. Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
8. Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
9. Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut
10. Sideways by Rex Pickett

The Watsons Go To Birmingham is an excellent book. Also try John Steinbeck's East of Eden, I absolutely love that book.

The last books I read were "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut and "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. I really enjoyed both. They are interesting to say the least. Vonnegut's book is about war and time-travel. Orwell's book is about human nature expressed through animals.
Other good books:
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky
"Feed" by M.T. Anderson *This may be one you would really enjoy

Dean Koontz is one of my favorites. I am reading his Odd Thomas series about a man who can communicate with the dead and helps them so that they can pass on. That is the first and then the 2nd one is Forever Odd and #3 which i have yet to begin is Brother Odd. I also like Nicholas Sparks and Stephen King.
