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.

I will. I'm actually going to go tomorrow with my grandmother, though the bookstore is kind of small so I really don't know how much choice I'll have. If I can't find any of the books I'll have to wait until I can go into the city and go to the larger Borders. The bookstore that's close by is just at the mall and is fairly small, so they don't always have a great selection. But, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

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.

Agincourt just got to stores, so you'll probably find!
Better read Agincourt before start a series... and try the Arthur books before the grail quest! They're a bit better!
