- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

I am reading Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong, Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong and listening to Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
It is very unusual for me to read the same author two books in a row, let alone two books by the same author at the same time but it has just happened by coincidence this time!

[quote=""MLE""]still grinding through Time and Chance. Not the most gripping work SKP has written. Also reading Flashman and the Redskins, my first venture into the Flashman series, and it's a riot. The sheer political incorrectness is both jaw-dropping and hilarious.[/quote]
I've never got into Flashman, but my husband has the same response as you. He really relishes them. I always know what to get for his birthday!

Kar ja li coard nI chasront
'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'
