Ham On Rye - Charles Bukowski
I'm surprised Mick hasn't deleted it
I find anything by Simon Scarrow is worth reading. He is fiction but set in factual times and events.
He has written about 2 Roman soldiers and their rise up the ranks and various campaigns, also he has written a fictional offering of the rise through the ranks of Napoleon and The Duke of Wellington.
Another author I have only recently discovered is Simon Kernick.

I think we're going to need to separate the boards into fiction and nonfiction at some point. I'm never going to read any of these recommendations

Non fiction books that turn you slightly mental. Here's what I am currently reading:

It sounds to me that you left school with few qualifications and are now trying to make up for it by reading a multitude of 'intellectual' books. Am I right Mick?
Would recommend Guy Sajer's 'The forgotten Soldier'.
Also a harrowing book is 'A Child called It'.

Not saying there's anything wrong with it. It was the same with me. Left school with barely **** all qualifications so spent about six years in the late 90s/early 00s in full-time education and doing p-t courses.
Just read Transition by Iain Banks. It's a bit mental, but if you're into that sort of thing it's well worth a read.
I must be on my 4th or 5th book by Ken Follett....My current one is "Winter of the world". A bloody good read! My other favourite authors are Bernard Cornwell, Wilbur Smith and for change of read James Patterson.
all second page repped by the way....

Blimey, you sound like my old man
..... Think we have all the books written by those authors around the house .... thank god for Kindle !
Must admit although I enjoyed the Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell, the ones I enjoyed most were the ones based around Thomas of Hookton and the Holy Grail
