That's a great book. I'd recommend it for anyone interested in warfare and military history.

Having read the first two novels in this trilogy in five parts:confused::D I think I already can recommend this piece of literature to anyone with a sense of humour.
Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell.
Oh I'm notoriously bad for doing that too, Arctic Fox. You aren't a Gemini by any chance, are you? :p
Books I'm reading now...most recent (and a Yule gift): Queen Emma and the Vikings. The next one will be my other Yule gift: Emma: The Twice-Crowned Queen.
Others as works in progress shall we say: Njal's Saga, The Eddas, Lament for a Nation, The Normans, The Long Emergency, various gardening books, and Kate Mosse's Sepulchre. I pick one of them up as the mood strikes. :)
Happy Reading All!...Aemma
I just started on one of my Yule gifts, The Franks, by Edward James:

HA! I tried getting this book online a few months ago and they told me it was out of print!!!
Psychonaut, you got this through Amazon, did you? The buggers! :mad:
I've been looking high and low for this thing! (*/me grumbles and mutters to herself)
Well, whatever you do don't spoil the ending for me eh? :tongue

Addendum: Ha! Just bought it online; a Yule gift from my hubby. Had to get it through the US though for some reason. Will be shipping out of Maryland soon enough! Yippee!
