Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy
Gemmell's Lion of Macedon.

This will most definitely spill into May. The hardest decision is which to start first.
I agree about Tim's book, it is one of the best pirate fantasies I've read but don't forget Gene Wolfe's Pirate Freedom.. Abercrombie's first 2 books were very good. Bujold is always good value and I've got a couple of Moers, Nesa has read those ones so she might log a comment or two...

Cheers...
