"The Day of Battle" by Rick Atkinson. Book two of "The Liberation Trilogy" looks at the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy. His books are consistently the most readable and enjoyable of World War Two histories.

And I'm anxiously awaiting Bernard Cornwell's fourth book in "The Saxon Chronicles, "Sword Song" for some Viking era escapist reading.

Good call on the John Scalzi -- "Old Man's War" is one of my favorite sci-fi novels of recent origin.
