check out my facebook page - i have that iRead application which shows books i've recently read - I like cruising around my friends' to get ideas. I also use amazon a lot - look at books i like and it gives me suggestions. That being said:
If you like sci fi and haven't read Elizabeth A Lynn's Chronicles of Tornor, Different Light or Sardonyx Net, YOU HAVENT LIVED. (sardonyx net especially)
Aforementioned Omnivore's Dilemma. Kitchen Literacy another really good one in the same vein, more history.
I like historical biographies, and Alison Weir is one of my favourite authors, as is the Grande Dame of the genre, Antonia Fraser.
Guy Gavriel Kay writes these 'alternate universe histories' set in quasi historical periods, but fantasy. He is an ass-kicking writer. Lions of El-Rassan, Tigana and a Song for Arbonne are the best imho.
