I love Andy McNabb books too - just recently finished reading Aggressor.
(...and Chris Ryan)
so my choices would probably be something like:
Bravo Two Zero
Immediate Action
Blackout
Zero Option
plus whatever Haynes manual I seem to need this week  ____________________ 1st bike (Sept'06 - May'10) : 1991 GPZ500S / Current bike (since Nov 2009) : 2003 Suzuki Bandit 600N

Must admit I think I've Overdosed on the whole SAS / Special Forces thing for now, but must admit that B20 started the whole thing off years ago. Have read a couple of the McNab, Ryan novels all a bit samey to me now. |

I think it's getting near to that point for me soon too TBH.
I just tend to get a bit obsessive whenever I get interested in something, so once I read one McNabb book and enjoyed it, I got another after another... you get the idea.
I was the same in my teens with Stephen King and James Herbert books  ____________________ 1st bike (Sept'06 - May'10) : 1991 GPZ500S / Current bike (since Nov 2009) : 2003 Suzuki Bandit 600N

THE CENTURY OF THE SURGEON by Jurgen Thorwald.
The history of surgery is the history of the past century. It begins in the year 1846 with the discovery of anesthesia and the possibility of operating painlessly. Everything that went before is but a night of ignorance,, of toture, and of fruitless wandering in the dark. The history of the past century, however, spreads before ust he most tremendous view known to humanity.
Its written in a biographical style as if the author is travelling the world as the discoveries are being made. I've read it a number of times and enjoyed it as much as the 1st time, written in the 50's its still a classic
Other favs have got to be James Herbert Rats is an all time classic horror  ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |

My five, in no particular order...
Captain Hornblower RN - collection of Hornblower novels by C. S. Forester
Mort - Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett. In fact include any other discworld novel with the witches or Rincewind.
Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien, everyone should read this at least once.
Casino Royale - Ian Fleming. A far darker James Bond than the movies.
Touching the Void - Joe Simpson. A book about survival and a cracking read.
