I'm reading Clausewitz On War so that's one thing.
Then I'll move on to his commentaries on Napoleons campaigns.

Amazing painting. Any more Napoleonic war paintings?

Pretty much any biography on Napoleon is going to cover his military campaigns, and having just finished this one, I do recommend it. The author is kind of enamored with Napoleon, so it's important to keep that in mind while reading, but his style is both highly informative and entertaining, so it's just a generally good read.
