I have found the following books, or series of books immensely enjoyable.
C.S. Forester's "Horatio Hornblower" novels. I think these are better than O'Brian's books. Forester can tell a better story in fewer words.
Robert B. Parker's "Spenser" series of detective novels. Spenser was an erudite tough guy.
"Killer Angels" by Shaara.
"Bridges of Toko-Ri" by Michener.
"A Soldier of the Great War" by Helprin.
"The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. Better than the movie.
"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
"The Life and Times of the Last Kid Picked" by David Benjamin. Not a novel but the story of growing up in WI; as good as the title is clever.
"The Hunters" by James Salter.
"The Cruel Sea" by N. Monsarrat.
"The Caine Mutiny" by Wouk.
