Most of what's mentioned here so far are not novels but non-fiction. If you're loking for "novel" ideas, several years ago I read through all 20.5 of Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey-Maturin series (the movie Master and Commander is based on 2 or 3 of the early books). It's the best historical fiction I've ever read, and over the course of the series a remarkable portrayal of an unlikely friendship. I found the sailing/naval battle details fascinating, as well as the politics of Napoleonic Europe of the early 19th century. Recommend.
