Joe Abercrombie's series which begins with The Blade Itself. and Abercrombie's stuff has a great vein of dark humour running through it.

+1 for Joe Abercrombie's "The First Law" series

also since you mentioned history and fictional history I've been reading Graham Hancock's "War God"..about the spanish conquest of mexico. He's a great writer..also worth checking out his videos on youtube. He gives some good lectures on the lost civilizations etc.

Metro 2033 (I believe there is an english translation out there somewhere...Or this is a good change for you to try to learn a new language.)

A Clockwork Orange

The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan.

First of a trilogy. The second is out, but not the third.

BTW, main character is gay, so don't get this if you are offended by relatively graphic sex.

go old school, read the Three Musketeers saga by Alexandre Dumas (there are 5 books total - Musketeers is the first).

they're excellent adventures stories and historical fictions with lots of political intrigue, so you learn quite a bit about french/english history in that time period

Recently read:

* PENPAL by Dathan Auerbach - creepy, psychological-type horror
* EDEN by Dean Crawford - post apocalyptic, book one in a trilogy (will read book two soon)
* THE ATLANTIS GENE by A.G. Riddle - action, political intrigue/espionage, sci-fi, fictional history of human origins. Book one in a trilogy (reading book two soon)

Some older favorites I've read more than once, they were that good:

* THE LIGHT BEARER and LADY OF THE LIGHT by Donna Gillespie - historical fiction set during the Chattian Wars with the 1st century Roman Empire
* OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon - historical fiction and time travel. Book one in a series of 6; book 7 coming out soon.
