I do like historical fiction. Alison Weir's Innocent Traitor was excellent; I loved The Other Boleyn Girl, The Queen's Fool, and especially The Constant Princess (the best explanation for Katherine of Aragon I've ever read) by Philippa Gregory (although I found The Other Queen unreadable); The Memoirs of Cleopatra and The Autobiography of Henry VIII both by Margaret George; and Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield, the story of the Spartans at Thermopylae. The Autobiography of Henry VIII and Gates of Fire are neck and neck as my favorite historical fiction.
