In the last year I have read:

Assassin Trilogy by Robert Ferrigno
Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks
Star Wars: Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss
Gears of War series by Karen Traviss
Once and Future King by T.H. White
Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron set by Michael Stackpole (ONLY.The ones not by him SUCK)
Everything by Raymond E. Feist
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
The Homeland trilogy by R.A. Salvatore
The Belgariad by David Eddings
The Mallorean by David Eddings

I suggest all of them. Honestly. Especially the Karen Traviss, Robert Ferrigno, David Eddings, and Raymond E. Feist. Those are choice fiction, the earliest being released in the 80s and the newest being released late last year.

The Outlander Series- By Diana Gabaldon

I highly recommend the above. It doesn't qualify as strict romance, nor war, nor time travel, nor mystery. It's a mongrel, but a damned good mongrel with a kick-ass pedigree, even though it is a mongrel. Also, the Wheel of Time novels by Robert Jordan. Praise be unto the Jordan!

Alright, let's see here...
-Republic Commando, by Karen Traviss. An incredibly awesome read, even if you're not a fan of Star Wars. Excellently deep storytelling, very entertaining, POV-grounded writing style, and the witty one-liners are awesome.
-The Wess'Har series by Karen Traviss is also excellent, if you prefer a much heavier, darker, more mature fare. A very engaging protagonist, and the story is so deep you could bury a starcruiser in it.
-Revenge of the Sith, by Mathew Stover. Yeah, I know what you're thinking; movie novelization, of Star Wars no doubt. However, this is not only the best novelization, but also one of the best books I have ever read. This man actually manages to make the somewhat corny characters of the saga believable and interesting, and the writing style... Absolutely amazing. I haven't found anything like it since then, which is a pity.
-Night Train to Rigel, by Timothy Zahn. A very interesting SciFi premise of a system of interplanetary trains connecting several major alien empires, of which humans are but the smallest. An excellently portrayed protagonist, called into a role that evokes the adventures of old-time railroad detectives. Uniquely distinctive bad guys. Well-imagined plotlines. This book and the ones in the series following it has it all.
-Green Rider, by Kristen Britain. Just newly picked up on a hunch, this book has been an awesome read. An elegantly simple writing style, well-imagined characters at every turn, and a plot and storyline that, for once, does not rip entire elements wholesale from Lord of the Rings. This book single-handedly reignited my faith in the genre of fantasy as a whole.
-The Hunt for Red October, by Tom Clancy. I'd be surprised if you've never heard of this. The plot is an intricate and intriguing tale of the many forces working on a global scale in the latter days of the Cold War, all of them maneuvering to possess the Red October, a state of the art Russian submarine, whose enigmatic commander may have a dangerous agenda of his own. This is an excellent book for those of you who like a heavy read with lots of detail. Clancy the master describes everything. When he goes off on a five-page description of the events leading up to the failure of a submarine's nuclear reactor... It's a thing of beauty.

There's more rattling around up there, but I can't quite recall them all right now. More developments as events warrant!
