What type of Books do you enjoy?
I recommend House of Leaves to most people but unless you can follow multiple plot lines and don't mind reading footnotes it might not be your cup of tea.

Try to find "The Brotherhoods". It is a true story about two senior NYPD Police detectives who became hit men for the Mob, and how they were eventually brought down by a few determined, good cops who investigated them for years. Excellent read, with a surprising twist at the end.

I say Edgar Allan Poe. His novels are simply great, also thanks to his experience gained in Pinkerton detective agency and thanks to his knowledge of the darker side of the society...e.g.: Pit and the pendulum, Murder in the Rue Morgue, Barrel of Amontillado, Golden Scarabeus...and lots more

Dunno if it's your sort of thing but "Across The Nightingale Floor" by Liam Hearn and the other 3 books that follow on from that are good. It's set in the middle ages of clans, war and assassins. Read a few reviews, See if you like...

After you're done with Poe, if you liked him, I'd take up **Filtered**.
In many ways they can be quite simmilar, with the edge (imho) to **Filtered**.
(Mostly do to the simple fact that **Filtered** has a lot more room to work with)
On the pulp (I.e. non-classic) side;
I'd try some classic Battletech, maybe Tad William's new Shadowmarch, or perhaps The Blue Max.
In historical fiction:
I'd recommend getting ahold of 'The Arms of Krupp', or 'Descision over Swienfurt' in addition to those already mentioned.
