Hard to say, but a few that made an impression quickly come to mind:

Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher

Three Musketeers and Four Musketeers by Dumas

The VIking Art of War - By Paddy Griffith - not a good "Art of War" book but an interesting look at the Vikings and their weapons nonetheless.

Horation Hornblower serious by Forrester

Falco series by "Lindsay Davis"

Three Kingdoms - Chinese classic, Moss Roberts

I'm not sure these are my favorites, but they come to mind as books I've read at least twice and would not mind rereading;
