Just finished The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. A really interesting take on a futuristic war, with a focus on how near-light speed travel screws up the soldiers' subjective timelines, so they go fight on the front for a couple of years but the laws of relativity mean they return to Earth 50--or 500--years in the future, depending on how much accelerating and decelerating they did. I highly recommend it.
