I am getting a little tired of reading the same stack I have own right now. Anything good come out? WW2 or anything modern is what I am looking for.
Ask Nestor

Not new, but perhaps you do not have this one in your stack? (what I'm reading atm): Bernard B. Fall's "Hell in a Very Small Place".

And merry new year to all the basterds on this thread who call me a troll
If you want to read about the Eastern Front then you could read The Retreat by Michael Jones (which I and my wife helped with a little on the translation side) or David Glantz's trilogy about Stalingrad - I think all 3 volumes are out now - but that is an ultra heavyweight read in more than one sense.
Any of Jason Mark's are worth a read as well - I have been meaning to get 'Death of the Leaping Horseman' about the 24.Panzer-Division in Stalingrad but I expect it is sold out...was last time I looked. His Island of Fire is very very good, if you can ignore all the typoes.
Other than that, Ivan's War by Catherine Merridale is good for a laugh too... she is not too hot on the technology and weaps side of things but the psychology of the frontoviki is covered rather well.
what about any realistic historic fiction?
One book in this category i quite enjoy is the book jem memoirs of a ottoman secret agent.
