What books are you reading? - Beyond Tiki

But I realize that I don't know what I want to get. My books tend to be about 95% non-fiction, so I'd like to get into more fiction or literature. I'm not really sure how to get into it, since I'm pretty out of touch with fiction writers. In the past I've enjoyed reading JRR Tolkien and many Tom Clancy books (but his last few books tend to be more geo-political than military thriller). The last book I finished was "Fear of Flying" by Erica Jong, kind of a sexual revolution story, and only barely erotic (probably good stuff in the early 70s). So are there any books you would really recommend for someone to read?
