Hi

Reading , Wars of the Roses ( The first English civil ) by Trevor Royale. Which isn`t suprising as I`m painting up a large Yorkist army at the moment and wanted to add some flavor to what I`m doing . It`s 495 pages long but the actual war doesn`t start till page 215 but don`t let that put you off as the background is tremendous ( Richard II is a right a******e). The way he describes the gathering storm as the nobles are all spoiling for a scrap and sides are taken is great.

Warlord of the Air - Michael Moorcock (jolly good yarn it is too!)

Michael Moorcock, now there's a name you don't hear very often these days, he wrote some brilliant stuff and is the foundation of so much we take for granted in the world of fantasy literature/gaming, the whole concept of Law/Choas was originally his.  My favourites were the Elric books and as a single tome Gloryana was fantastic.

I've just finished "The curious case of the clockwork man" by Mark Hodder, definately the best steampunk writter I've read.  One a more serious not I'm nearly finished re-reading "Millenium" by Tom Holland, an excellent work tracing the development of Europe from about 800 to 1100, from barbarian tribal based societies to relatively stable kingdoms based on the feudal system and the church's authority.

Finally got round to reading Cornwell's 'The Burning Land' which was a birthday present last year, quite enjoy his Saxon & Arther series, went off Sharpe a decade or so ago. Now reading 'Arnhem' by John Nichol and Tony Rennell, only on the first chapter but seems good, not expecting any startling revelations it's the man on the grounds experiences.

Just started The scramble for Africa by Thomas Pakenham a great bargain of £2.50 from the charity shop.

Ah yes Michael Moorcock! I spent lots of time reading his books when I was younger. My particular favourites are The Warhound and the world's pain, dancer's at the end of time and the Dorian Hawkmoon's books

I am trying to decide if I want the new one in hardcover, or to wait a year.  I think at the moment I will go ahead and pick it up.
