Both are great reads. For non-fiction there's Paul Theroux's The Happy Isles of Oceania. I mostly read non-fiction myself but lately I've grown tired of surfing the net at work so I've taken a fancy to public domain ebooks. Like those found here. It's a nice way to kill some mindless hours at work and enrichen yourself with classic literature (stuff you might not read in your free time) at the same time. I've recently finished Conrad's Heart of Darkness and am nearly finished with Melville's Typee. If you like Clancy style military thrillers, I've got an ebook that was posted on another forum by the author as a freebie. It's his first, but it's quite a good read. If you want it I can email ya.
