Some recent favorites:

1) Blind Man's Bluff - About submarines during the cold war
2) The Last Steps - About the 1978 American K2 Expedition.
3)Fermat's Enigma - Who thought a book about a math puzzle could be riveting
4)Prisoner's Dilemma - Great primer on game theory and the WW2 stuff is fascinating and terrifying. This book made me think about current events much differently
5) God and the New Physics - Very cool how religon is tied into modern physics
6) The compleat Strategyst - The 1954 classic from RAND
7) One Day in September - Gripping account of the 1972 Massacre in Munich

Kiss the Girls was a great easy read, even though you need to suspend belief several times. The scene with the snake is great. Unfortunately, I thought Along came a spider was boring.
