http://www.amazon.com/Firebrand-Marion-Zimmer-Bradley/dp/0671744062/ was the first book I read from Bradley, and it's very good. I dig history very much as you will see as the blog unfolds and this one is about Cassandra of Troy. The author is in an easy position as the factual knowledge from this era is almost nil.

It's fitting to start my book posts with http://www.amazon.com/Enders-Game-Ender-Book-1/dp/0812550706/ref=ed_oe_p because it's the Book for me. When I was a small kid, I was reading the kid section of the local library without much selection. Some years later it dawned on me that I read a very, very good book among those but the title escaped me so I went back to the library, browsing the books (not much change in the selection through the years, thanks god) and managed to find Ender's Game by it's cover.
