Sharpe by Bernard Cornwall

[Chesh]

So almost finished Waterloo, book 20 out of the whole seris. Has taken me almost 18 months but would recommened them to anyone who enjoys historical fiction or enjoyed the TV seris, Books are way different in places to the TV seris and you can see where they have been adapted for the show.

Don't know what I am going to do next becuase for like I said last 18 months has always know n what my next book is going to be!

Chesh, yes, the Sharpe books were great. I've just finished reading ten or so books by Bernard Knight (a retired pathologist) called the : Crowner John Mysteries'' - about a Norman/Saxon Coroner of the 12th, Century .... both interesting and informative!
