Haven't seen Bernard Cornwall mentioned yet. The Sharpe series is really good as is the King Arthur and Thief series. He writes historical fiction that's more on the realistic/gritty side. I grew up reading Wilbur Smith but I like Cornwall better now.
I can't believe one of you is getting the entire Tarzan series. I would kill for the whole Mars series for my boy.

Re: Books for Boys of all ages!
I like Stivenson and Lamour! The last of Lamour i read was "Fair blow wind" (in english 
)
"Black arrow" read many times.
I would add "Red Orm" good book, good humor.

I liked the Horatio Hornblower series as a kid, reading the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey–Maturin series (Master and commander) off and on now, and like it better.

Remembererd one more book.
"Quest for fire"
"Quest for fire"
Re: Books for Boys of all ages!
Oh, hey. That made me remember this: "Death Watch."
http://www.amazon.com/Deathwatch-Robb-W ... 172&sr=8-2
It's a long cat-and-mouse game through the desert between a college student and a hunter, who needs to get rid of him in order to conceal a crime. I'd say it's more appropriate for teens than pre-teens.

The Raft, by Eddie Rickenbacker, seven guys on a small life raft for 20+ days before they were rescued. He came to speak when I was in High School.
