got like 300 books on my book shelf of various genres...
for FUN -- most def. works of Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series)
the last book I read was 'Unquiet Minds' by Hugh Miller (a f'en SICK book on various psychosis and case studies ON THOSE -- couldn't read half the book cuz I was just disturbed by it)
the book before that was 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Dr. Victor Frankl <<< a MUST READ for ANYONE -- a book on logotherapy, which is a field in Psychology.
Hmm..personally like books on Ancient History as well (the last one I read from that subject was 'The Message of the Sphinx' by Graham Hancock
and most def. books on war -- the last book of THAT I read was 'Black Hawk Down' by Mark Bowden (read this about 6 months ago..waaay before the movie came out).

If you liked 1984, you will also like "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. It was the book mentioned in the Forward of 1984 as the book that inspired Orwell to write 1984 in the first place.
For those of you who liked Lord of the Rings, you may also like 'The Fionavar Tapestry - by Guy Gavriel Kay'. A Canadian author too.
