HMS Ulysses by Alistair MacLean awesome book. Read it.
Yossarian, I assume that you're a Joseph Heller fan. Catch-22 is an absolute classic.
It is. Nothing else Heller did comes close IMO. Didn't mind Closing Time? the sequel but nothing could outstrip Catch 22.
I enjoy reading Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Harlen Coben, James Lee Burke, Greg Iles, Tom Clancy.... pretty boring.
Always enjoyed Tom Clancy's stuff, although some of that op centre stuff was pretty awful.
Granted Clancy didn't write it... I think.
I'm reading "Firepower - The Most Spectacular Fraud in Australian History" by Gerard Ryle about Tim Johnston and how he managed to rip off just about everyone gullible in Australia and New Zealand. Well written book.

My sister went to school with his daughter. We used to drive her to school. Small country.
Eclectic tastes for me, Lately Ive read Star War novels, Agatha Christie, the entire Tomorrow series by John Marsden. (my daughters books), a biography on Ben Hogan, a Bmw repair manual, a Thai history/cook book and the entire Barry Maitland "Brock and Kolla" mysteries. And also the first 12 of the Janet Evanovich "One for the Money" series. Oh and another one of my daughters called "The Hunger Games".
The Tomorrow series was gripping, bloody good for teenage fiction.
I totally agree with the Michael Connelly comments. For some reason I had not read one of his books until 3 or 4 months ago, but have read 5 since then and they have all been enjoyable.
Anything by Dan Brown, Jeffery Archer, and John Grisham currenty reading a book on how to take care of Jumped up little ****s with little man syndrome, It's called shhhhh little man it's ok, bloody hilarious
another vote for Papillion...must have read it 20 plus times
The Rome series by Colleen Mccullough is another favourite....bit heavy going if your not into ancient Rome though
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.............

I used to read the John Sandford "Prey" series 12 years ago. Just recently i bought about 11 that i was now behind on and have already finished 4. Fantastic read.

I just finished reading Pushing Ice by Alistair Reynolds. One of his better efforts... he's been a bit hit & miss with some of his past novels. Next in line is Zima Blue (also by Reynolds), a series of 3 or 4 shorter stories based in the same universe as some of his previous stuff.
I also discovered another good author recently called Gary Gibson. His 3 books to date: Angel Stations, Against Gravity & Stealing Light have all been very entertaining with original plots (within the genre).
I don't seem to get into the fiction books. I am more a bio/other non fiction type book reader. If I get one I like I read it front to back in quick time and then try and find another.
Some Titles read are:
On film in Print - Warren Miller
Fatal Storm - Rob Mundle
This is my Surfboard - The Sandman
Don't tell me I can't do that - Dick Johnson
Seinlanguage - Jerry Seinfield
Remembering Hooksey
The way of the Shark
And lots of others.
