Metro 2033 by Dmitriy Glukhovsky. A very interesting book about a post-apocalypic Russia in a perspective and style that I have never seen before. Read the book, and then play the game, or the other way around. The're both great.
Best series of all time: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The first two are out and the third is coming in September. Fantastic.
Also, some Eoin Colfer books (like The Supernaturalist and Artemis Fowl, or the Wishlist.)
The Rage of Achilles (The Iliad, for those of us who don't appreciate the epic.)
Julius Caesar.

The Lone Survivor- Marcus Luttrell- its an amazing non-fiction book, about a southern boy, and his training to be a U.S. Navy Seal. From his start training as a kid, to his training in camp, to his deployment in Iraq/Afghanistan, and finally the firefight where the insurgents killed of his other teammates (3) one of the worst loses for the seals in the war and how he was the only one to survive.
The Ethics of Liberty
The Fall of the Berlin Wall
Epic of Gilgamesh
Starship Troopers (disregard the movie)
I am Legend (also disregard the movie)
Good Omens
Name of the Rose
In addition to Tom Clancy, other War fiction writers:
look into Harold Coyle, Team Yankee, especially if you liked Tom Clancy's red storm rising, it was a very real what if WW3 happened in Europe, it does a good job of explaining the fears of the cold war. Also look at the 10000 also by Harold Coyle,
Start out Dale Brown with flight of the OLD DOG, the rest of the books build on this.
Stephen Coontz is a good read. Start with Flight of the Intruder
I am going to leave out my significant sci fi reading list.
Biography and Auto biographs (war time)
I started out with Wings of a eagle by W.T. Grant, next time I was in a book store some of the other authors of other books jumped out of me. It seems that the vets all started writing unit histories of their tours in Vietnam. What is cool is you get to see the stories through multiple points of view, Those Authors and books are:
William Meacham : Lest We Forget
Gary Linderer: Eyes behind the lines
The eyes of the eagle
Phantom Warriors
Six Silent men volume 3
Kenn Miller: Six Silent Men vol. 2
Tiger the LURP Dog
Larry Chambers: Recondo
Reynel Martinez: Six Silent Men vol. 1
John Burford: Lurp Team Leader
James Walker: Fortune Favors The Bold
Again, the above books follows the SAME unit through the entire war through their eyes:
If you can't get enough then there is Rogue Warrior (the first one only) by Richard Marcinko and Pointman and Walking Point by Chief James Watson
For second WW reading
Panzer Commander, Col, Hans Von Luck
The Rommel Papers Dairy of Erwin Rommel
Tigers in the Mud , Otto Carius
Band Of Brothers, Stephen Ambrose
Easy Company Soldier, Don Malarkey and Bob Welch
Beyond Band Of Brothers, Major Dick Winters
Biggest Brother , Autobiogrpahy Or Major Winters by Larry Alexander
More Modern:
Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell
In Company Of Heros, Michael Durant
There are LOTS more on my shelf, but those are my recommend High lights, If you read them, and I hope you do, discuss it with me during lunch at the field, I'll look forward to it.

Second on Team Yankee, although I believe it was a comic book? I have it on my HDD, I can print it out for anyone. It's worth the read, there are only four 20-30 page volumes.

Visions From a Foxhole, Shooter(Marine scout sniper in Iraq), and the most powerful and moving book ever...... Lone Survivor. I highly recommend it.

Has anybody ever read "The Journal of Scott Pendelton Collins"? He was supposedly a US Soldier during WWII and participated first hand in the invasion of Normandy.
Just wondering because I don't think anybody here mentioned it. Very short, but definitely an interesting read.
Anything actually written by Tom Clancy (not created by him), Jarhead, Black Hawk Down, Band of Brothers (by Steven Ambrose) and books by Michael Criechton (doesn't have to do with war, but very good author).
Almost forgot, all airsofters should read the books White Feather, Slient Warrior, and Marine sniper: 93 confirmed kills. All of them are about Carlos Hathcock, the greatest sniper of all time, with 93 CONFIRMED kills. Read these books. Learn from the master

Hathcock was good. He was the best MARINE Sniper. This guy has him beat by about 410, and he did it with a **** I enjoy licking my toilet, Mosin Nagant.
ETA:Airsoft is as close to real sniping as I am to being King of Norway.
This website has provided a myriad of books and knowledge, hopefully it will pass on the same to you all. Military handbooks, MIT guide to lock-picking, authors from A to Z, it has almost anything an OPERATOR could want!
Edit: to get the texts themselves, open the file, save the picture to a folder, and open it with winRAR. Extract it to that folder or any folder, in whatever format you find easiest. (Before I convert them to an eReader format, I'm just using Adobe or Word.)

I can see other Steinbeck, but The Pearl? I could barely stomach it in 10th grade. However, Of Mice and Men was quite good.

Awesome book, I don't know where I have it stored in my house, but it's an awesome read and I'd recommend it to anyone into WW2 stuff.
Reading Fiasco by Thomas E. Ricks, and it has opened my eyes to the real blunders of beaurocracy, and how only a few hard-headed people can turn an administration 180 degrees and threaten the lives of many thousands of people, if only for the sake of ideology.
