I suffer from terrible book consumption rate. My reading habits keep me ever hungry for new books, so can you recommend something?
I'm mostly interested in fantasy and sci-fi, but I occassionally make an exception...

Here are three titles:
The Sky People
Courts of the Crimison Kings
Both by SM Stirling
Space Vulture
Can't recall the author of this one, but it has come highly recommended and once B&N calls me, I will be reading it the same day.

Lately I've been reading a LOT of Robert Ludlum books. Or ones in his Covert One series that are written by others. The Moscow Vector is very good, though my Russian sucks lol! Right now I'm reading his "The Janson Directive". Its pretty damned good.

Also if you guys get the chance to pick EMPIRE by Orson Scott Card, it's worth reading.

I've been thinking about this one, but I can't find it in local store and there are still so many things to read...

Anything by David Drake- But Hammers Slammers being the main thing
Lawhead- Bzyantium
Cornwall- Sharpe's Rifles Series
George RR Martin- Fire and Ice or as I call it Game of Thrones series, but he needs to finish it up before he does a Wheel of Time BS thing
Boris Ankunin- Earnst Fadorin mysteris
(Russian translated to English)
Books,
The Regiment
Starship Troopers
Long ARM of Gil- I think Niven
Should keep you occupied.
