            Aztec, I forget the author's name. Very graphic description of the Aztec empire at the time of the Spanish invasion. The main character kind of reminds me of a Native Forrest Gump.

                I consume books in waves.

                During the slow period it is maybe a book per week. When I'm reading a bunch, it's 3-4.

                I read everything. Trashy fiction, history, tech manuals, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

                Presently, reading a book about Capone, one on leadership, and another on Ben Hogan

                  Like Gummi Bear I read a LOT.

                  If you haven't read Dirty Dealings it's a good murder mystery based on facts about the murder of Judge John Woods.

                      Working offshore, I read a heck of lot on my off-tour time, probably 10-15 books a hitch (28 days).

                      I'll recommend some of my favorites, by subject.

                      Sci-fi: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert Heinlein; The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula Le Guin.
                      History: Literally anything by David McCullough, and Citizen Soldier by Stephen E. Ambrose.
                      Romance: uhhh, no.
                      Fantasy: Dark Tower series, by Stephen King
                      Government: The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu and the Discourses on Livy by Niccolo Machiavelli (though this might be more philosophy than Government)
                      Comedy: David Sedaris.
                      Philosophy: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi.
                      Crazy/Weird: Anything by Chuck Palahniuk. The novels are strange as hell, but his writing makes it hard to put his books down.
                      Adventure: Alexandre Dumas; I mean seriously, the guy wrote the Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Christo...
                      Psychology: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
                      Hunting: Death in the Long Grass by Peter Hathaway Capstick (this book will make you either really want to hunt in Africa, or absolutely terrified to do so).

                        I first read "Son of the Morning Star" when it came out in the 90's. I recently pulled it off the shelf and re-read it. I have read probably a dozen books about Custer and the Little Big Horn - this one is the best by far, IMO. If you like old west history it is a must-read.

                          I enjoy good true crime books...especially books about the Italian Mafia.
