The Last Kingdom, by Bernard Cornwell. Just because I've never read anything by him and it caught my attention.

If you enjoy The Last Kingdom as much as I did, you'll become a life-long Bernard Cornwell fan. My brother and my daughter recommended his books to me months and months ago. Finally, earlier this month I read The Last Kingdom, and immediately followed that up with the other 3 books in the series, then started on the 3-book Grail Quest series, and am now in book 3. Such great historical fiction!

That should be an interesting book. We don't hear much of that on the West Coast and it was a bit of an eye opener when I went to see The Jersey Boys. Such language Excellent show though, just wow.

I had a buy two or more and get 25% off voucher for Borders, so today I bought:
"The Pursuit of Victory: The Life and Achievement of Horatio Nelson," by Roger Knight
"Dauntless: The Life and Adventures of Thomas Cochrane," by David Cordingly
"Sahib: The British Soldier in India 1750-1914," by Richard Holmes
"When Christ and his Saints Slept," by Sharon Kay Penman
I figure I owe it to read one of SKP's novels since everyone here says how good they are. The other three are non-fiction.
