Sort of stuck in the 19th century:

The Ionian Mission (Aubrey/Maturin series) by Patrick O'Brian
Sharpe's Tiger (Sharpe series, obviously) by Bernard Cornwell
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontė

I've been reading the Aubrey/Maturin books for quite a while, enjoying them both for the sail pr0n and the fun and the drama, so I decided to check out the Sharpe books to get the same thing but on land so to speak. It's a decent read so far. Jane Eyre is for class, and it's taking me forever to get through, because I have to put the book down ever so often because I want to pummel Mr. Rochester with a codfish or something. Seriously, he must be the least attractive/charming romantic lead ever.
