Never read Cornwell, but if I were to, I'd read his Sharpe series. Because I've seen all the TV movies starring Sean Bean, who is utterly amazing in it, and they are just brilliant and fun.

I've just finished The Deceivers by John Masters. It's about a British officer working to suppress the murderous Thugee movement in India.
Give me Brexit or give me death.

That's one I should read, because I absolutely love Temple of Doom (whether it gets the Thugee correct or not concerns me not as old pulp media always exaggerated and got things sensationally wrong). But I guess this book captures the movement more realistically (which I'd also find interesting). Originally Posted by DavidRA

Hombre - Elmore Leonard. I've read it before. People don't realize Dutch wrote several classic westerns before he turned to the crime genre.

Sometime tomorrow, I'll be reading the third Jack Aubrey-Stephen Maturin novel by Patrick O'Brian: H.M.S. Surprise. On my Kindle this weekend, I'll also take on John Buchan's non-fiction work The African Colony: Studies in the Reconstruction.

Claudia Grey just put out a new Star Wars book about a teenage Princess Leia, it was real good. Grey seems like the new leading SW lit star.
Also finished Malazan book 5. Loving this series, it's very hard to follow though, it feels like I'm in history class for a fictional world.
I saw people discussing Bernard Cornwall recently, I just finished the 10th Uhtred book of his. Man these books are good. They are the basis for the TV show The Last Kingdom.
Also last week listened to the audiobook of Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. It was very smart and also hilarious, well deserving of its status as a classic.
