I don't stick to any particular genre - I like fiction and non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, horror, who-done-its, history, biography.
My obsessions are the American Civil War, Tudor England, and Ireland, both history and folklore/myth.

You might like "Lincoln's Dreams" by Connie Willis, which is set in the present but tied into the US Civil War in an interesting way.

I suggest "Desolute Angel" by Dennis McNally....a bio on Jack Kerouac and the beat generation. As far as fiction, "Leaving Las Vegas."
