I started reading The Last Kingdom a little while back and really liked it. I just didn't get to finish it before I moved and now it's in a box in my garage until I move out again. Someday though I will finish it
 But really, I think he's a good writer and does really well with his environment.__________________

Does he have any other series I can work on while my books are still boxed up? I probably won't have access to them for quite some time and I'd really like to read something else of his.

There are plenty of series!!
Take a look... Arthur Books: The Winter King Enemy of God Excalibur The Grail Quest: Harlequin/The Archer's Tale Vagabond Heretic There are also other books... There is the Sharpe series (didn't read any of them yet), the Stonehenge book (just one)... And many others...  __________________

I don't know around the world... but here in Brazil, Bernard Cornwell is very popular. You can find his books everywhere! Hope you can get it.

I found a few of his books but they were all from the same series as The Last Kingdom, which I have but didn't finish so I really didn't want to get them and jump ahead. I'll be going over to the big bookstore soon, though, so I'll try to find something of his that I can read. I don't think Bernard Cornwell is super popular in the US. To be honest, I'd never heard of him until I got The Last Kingdom at a used bookstore in my hometown.

Haha, I think so. I'll probably be able to go by the end of the week, so as soon as I get a copy, I'll read it really quickly and then we can talk. Which ones have you read, other than Agincourt.

I should be going to the bigger bookstore sometime early next week. I'd like to get Agincourt because it looks really interesting and maybe the first books in The Grail Quest and The Arthur Books. It's really just going to depend on what I can find there and what books they have that won't start me off in the middle of a series.

Better read Agincourt before start a series... and try the Arthur books before the grail quest! They're a bit better! __________________
