Currently reading:

Next will be either Contact Charlie or Fifteen days... I haven't decided yet.

Bernard Cornwell is so good, he may almost unseat Jack Whyte as my favourite Author!

Both books were great!!  Have you seen the movie The Kite Runner?  I hope they make one from A Thousand Splendid Suns as well.  Awesome books!

Yes I did see "The Kite Runner"-- awesome, as you say. I'm also hoping they make a movie of "A Thousand Splendid Suns."

The Warlord series is fantastic; as is his dark ages series about Uhtred of Bebbenburg. Just finished Lords of the North for the 3rd time.

Bored at the airport. Saw a copy of "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (the Neterlands MP of Somali origin, who is forced to leave by all the PC crap that is consuming most of the EU) started reading and could not put it down - fortunately, I remember to pay for it before boarding...

cheers,

The very first series I read was the Dark Ages, and by Far Uhtred is my favourite character of his books.

Which is why I am still tipping the scales with Jack Whytes Golden Eagle and Cornwell's works.  Publius Varus is my all time fictional fave character, from SkyStone.

Funny thing is Uhtred of Bebbenburg is loosely based on one of Cornwell's ancestors, too.

I thought Uhtred was from the Saxon stories?  I just picked up The Last Kingdom at Value Village a few weeks ago, not realizing it's part of a series.  :-[  On the bright side, at least it's the first of the series!!  Haven't started it yet, still reading The Sorcerer: Metamorphosis.

I'm with you, Tess, I like both authors!

What book are you reading now?

Physics for Dummy's
Calculus for Dummy's
TI-89 Graphing Calculator for Dummy's



Why? 2 reasons;

1) Mechanical Engineering, Design and Analysis at Conestoga College

2) I never took physics or calculus in high school and the TI-89 Calculator has (according to the math teacher) the answer to everything... including the answer to life, the universe and everything....  it's 42.   ;D
