-Jim's Butcher's Dresden Files. I recently started this series and love the mix of mystery and supernatural with a lot of humor thrown in.
Oh man , that reminded me - as fun as the Dresden books are, Butcher's Codex Alera series is all that and more... it's his seminal work for now, I think...
I forgot to mention American Prometheus. If you have any interest in Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project, or that era in science in general, I highly recommend it.
+1 
The book version of "Men Who Stared at Goats," is actually an awesome read.
Trey turned me onto "Under the Kingdom of Heaven," by John Krakauer, which is a damn fine piece of investigative journalism.
"The Power of Habit," is pretty fascinating.
As a Dad, I have a great deal of respect for the book "Unconditional Parenting."
I dug Joe McGuinesses, "The Rogue," and am equally digging Errol Morris new book, "A Wilderness of Error."
