Hmm, if you're looking for some fantasy that has a bit of real-world-ish content, the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik might be good. Also, if you can find it, The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon seemed pretty good when I read it (You can find a free online version of the first volume at http://www.webscription.net/10.1125/Baen/0671654160/0671654160.htm)
