Reading... hrm. My personal library's pretty varied. Recent acquisitions that come to mind include _The Color of Magic_, _The Art of War_, _On War_, _Romance of the Three Kingdoms_ (1st vol. only so far), _Journey to the West_, _A Fire Upon the Deep_, _Ethics_ (in queue), and _A Book of Five Rings_ (in queue). I also recently re-read KSR's [RGB] _Mars_ trilogy.

My readings generally wander around science fiction (strong preference for non-fluffy works with only the occasional parody; _Stand on Zanzibar_ is more my taste than, oh, _Star Trek_), philosophy, strategy, history (in particular, espionage -- _The Sword and the Shield_ makes interesting reading), and the odd classic.

You should try "Path of the Fury" by Weber, it's not the same setting, but pretty good.

Haven't had a chance to do much reading for myself since I got into Comp Sci, but I like sci-fi and military fiction and historical. Used to read all the time though. So here are some of my favorite authors and books.

"Hard Wired" and "Day of Atonement" Walter Jon Williams.

"Code of the Lifemaker" and "The Immortality Option" by ... uh I can't remember.

The Bolo series by Keith Laumer.

"Red Phoenix" "Vortex" by Larry Bond.

Plenty of other stuff too numerous to list.

Also a comic fan - recommend transmetropolitan, Astro City, Scud: Disposible Asassin (no more , Marvel 2099 (no more , Judge Dredd (old stuff). Also take a look at "Rising Stars" by Michael "Babylon" J. "5" Strazcinsky.
