I like James Clavel as a storyteller...
Shogun
Taipan
King Rat etc.....
read all the series (no mean feat) several times, over the years. Shogun must be at least 10 times, with Taipan a close second..
Also partial to a Geoffrey Archer now and again, when he is not doing time.... Chewing gum for the brain, but quite readable as a trashy novelette...
Para Handy series as good Scots easy reading from a bygone age, similar to Whisky Galore....

Just finished reading all the "Sharpe" books by Bernard Cornwell the best one imho is Sharpes Trafalgar, it never made it into the TV series as I imagine it would have been to costly to make but a cracking read and is informative about the peninsular war.
But the book I have read at least a dozen times is Battlefield Earth by L Ron Hubbard. I think it is an amazing read. The film they made of it did the book no justice at all. Hollywood should hang their heads in shame where that was concerned.

Just finished the 'Dies The Fire' trilogy, and am expecting the first book

Well worth a read if you like the genre.
