Looking for some interesting reads.

I lost interest in the Terry Goodkind series at about book three, so my novel tastes may not be of any interest to you.

Faith of the Fallen was an engaging read but the two books following that were quite boring for me. It did feel like the series lost it's direction around book three.

For Fantasy The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan is worth a look. LE Modesitt's Saga of Recluse is also a set I enjoy. The first two books of the DemonWars Saga by R.A. Salvatore, The Demon Awakens and The Demon Spirit, are quite good. The third book was dissapointing though.

Harry Turtledove's World at War series (beginning with Into the Darkness) is also a set I would ask about in your local bookstore. It is a story that parallels WWII but is set in a world where magic works. As you read the books there are many different character paths to keep track of but many begin to merge, sometimes on opposite sides of the battle lines.

For SciFi try Armor by John Steakley. While not a great novel, it is a good story.

Shogun by James Clavell. The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy.

Non fiction: If you haven't read it yet get Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden.
