I'd say my list goes something like this...

The Intruders - ibid
Team Yankee - Coyle
Sword Point - ibid
Red Storm Rising - Clancy, Bond
The Third World War - Hackett
The Third World War, The Untold Story - ibid
Nonfiction:
Phantom Over Vietnam - Trotti
Enemy at the Gates - Craig
Tank Sergeant - Zumbro
Fire in the Streets - Hammel
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - Shrier
Citizen Soldiers - Ambrose
D-Day - ibid
Band of Brothers - ibid
Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters, The Man Who Led the Band of Brothers - Winters, Alexander
Generation: Kill - Wright
Black Hawk Down - Bowden
...
There's a host of other types of books I enjoy but I thought it'd be interesting to share. Anyone else?

I think it safe to say that for many of us the list would be similar.... Many of these books with the exception of Black Hawk Down I have read or in the process reading.
Coyle and Clancy both had several books that could be added to this list. Coyle I know with Sword Point had the many of the same Officers and some of the Enlisted in several of his following books.
There were couple books by Ralph Peters that I have read and some by Soviet Army Officer who defected to the west who wrote a couple books including one in which he tries to prove that Stalin was just months/weeks/or some say days away from attacking Germany himself that come to mind.
