August 2010, what are you reading
Finished Flint by Margaret Redfern and starting The Passionate Brood by MC Barnes. I dearly hope Sourcebooks has a larger font with their new issue in the fall, as my library copy is tiny indeed.
At home with a good book and the cat...

- 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.

Currently reading some NF- a book about the Great Game between Russia and England called "A Ride to Khiva", by Capt. Frederick Gustavus Burnaby. Burnaby was a classic dashing Victorian master of derring-do, and according to this intriguing post, an early casualty of the cult of celebrity.
Nope, it's pretty much unremitting tragedy right through. Times were certainly harsh for the lower classes, and especially for women.I have started Cathedral of the Sea. I do hope it picks up from the OTT doom-and-gloom in the beginning.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
