Recently read Mitla Pass and Battle Cry by Leon Uris.
Both good reads. Though Mitla pass did get just a bit bogged down in the flashbacks to so many ancestors. I'd still recommend it though.
And I thought Battle Cry was very good. Stacks up pretty well with other Marine in the Pacific books like Helmet for My Pillow and With the Old Breed.
- a bit off topic but the boot camp sections (well really most of the sections) of all the WWII Marines novels that I've read are very very consistent. (The "this is my rifle this is my gun" incidents appear in all I think). The basic training instructors must have had a pretty set routine.

Try Piers Anthony Xanth series if you like fantasy. Got hooked as a teenager. There are like 41 or 42 books in the series.
Actually some of the first fantasy I read as a kid. THe school librarian had to call my mom to make sure I could read them. I was in the third grade pulling Piers Anthony off the shelf
