I'm reading Grishom's latest, Sycamore Row. Pleasantly surprised at all the pipe smoking he details when describing scenes with the judge involved in the trial. He even mentioned one tobacco by its blend name.

Finished book #6 in the Bernard Cornwell "Saxon Series". Book #7 is out but not available in the U.S. until sometime in January. Highly recommended for lovers of the Viking Era and of Historical Fiction in general.

Hey Cobguy, I just finished the first book of the Mongoliad Trilogy. I think you'd like it, as it deals with the era of knights when they were transitioning from pagan to Christian. I'm a big fan of historical fiction that deals with Vikings and the whole pagan to Christian era.

Hey cosmicfolklore, thanks for the suggestion. That definitely looks right up my alley!
Sounds like you would really enjoy Cornwell's series as well.

I am about to finish up George RR Martin's A Dance With Dragons. I hate that it takes him 20 years to finish a book. Maybe my grandkids will get to read the next sequel.

I just got Bernard Cornwell's book The Pagan Lord. It is the newest book in the Saxon series. I get them as soon as they are available. Great reads for anyone that likes history.
