fiction:
just finished hard landing. was ok, got some insider info on airline industry in fiction format... b4 that read Ocean of Storms (started great, ended great, middle 200 pages were torture), Tick Tock (solid Koontz), Rage Against the Night (good collection of short horror stories), and just started a new one the other day (forgot what it is called...i rip through books pretty damn fast)
Koontz's Strangers is one of my fav fiction but anything from Crichton will get it done, too
non-fict grab Imperial Cruise by Bradley or any of the Erik Larson stuff (Devil in White City, Isaac's Storm, etc). Just finishing an autobiography of Edward Bernays. Most of Michael Lewis is great. Read the history of Salt earlier this year...pretty time consuming (500 pg about salt) but interesting as hell.
Confessions of an Economic Hitman is a great read...probably fits somewhere b/w fact and fiction.
this list will keep you busy...

Your going to Tampa? If you can find a copy of 'Hyena' by Jude Angelini you will be very entertained. Dreamseller the story of Brandon Novak is another crazy one. Been awhile since i've read The End of The Dream about the peter pan like bank robber but that was another good one. None of those are fiction but books i've enjoyed.
Interested in "gambling related"? Ordered myself a copy of Joe Peta's "Trading Bases"....arrived couple days ago and I took it with me on plane today...read first two chapters and it has my attention (only stopped reading cause I had to deal with something else) so may be of interest if you have an interest in baseball and baseball betting.
sent my wife to barnes and nobles last night to get me a few of the books mentioned here. she came home with one, stranger in a strange land. i really wanted to read that dreamseller that someone mentioned above but they told here it didnt come out until march? maybe i told her the wrong one or something. anyway, i could almost guarantee you taht if i went today id find everything i was looking for...smh
