Not at all.
I think, I'm a clever one. And maybe you, Heretic. A little bit...:D

I like all of John Gresham's books, He is an ex lawyer turned author and half a dozen or more of his books have been made into movies.

I also have all of Louis L'Amour works, He was a world traveler and writer of action stories. Most of his works were about the American west, but the two I enjoyed most were set in Europe and Asia "The Walking Drum" set in medieval Europe and "The Last of A Breed" set in Siberia. The thing I like most about his works is the fact that even though his works are fiction the settings are actual places, and the author has walked the ground that his characters traverse. If a stream or mountain or trail is mentioned, it is there

I also like to read war history.

Elric = awesome.

[Pikeman]

Discworld series, JRR Tolkien, Shogun

[Patrix]

That's a tough one, there's so many of them I love. I'll try not to mention Lord of the Rings, oops, too late. But the book Arte Gladiotaria, by Fillipo Vadi. Made in the 14th century. This is the book that all modern experts in medieval warfare have read. It gives a good idea of what it was like to fight with a 80 pounds plate armor and why gunpowder killed chivalry.

[Berserkr138]

The Rites of Odin, Beowulf, Origin of Species, Dune, Sagas of the Icelanders, Basic Writings of Nietzsche

[vanedor]

Druon, Maurice,

Very interesting, en effet. Not a very big success world wide because american don't like translated books but the books of this serie are among my favorite historical medieval novels.

[Kdar]

I lived ones in US and there people not much interstin in Europian stuff.

But yea Druon is good writer!!!

The Accursed Kings and other of his book are great!!

[Jarlabanke]

Heimskringla, Egils saga, can't really remember the LOTR books...

[Berserkr138]

Yea, not many Americans are interested in European stuff, which is a shame since most of us are of European descent. More than anything, the media can be blamed because most people here are pretty weak minded and can't think for themselves without the tv, and they assume everything that the news reports is true. Just look at when the "war" in Iraq started, the French were opposed to it at first, so everyone here jumped on the anti-France bandwagon, going so far as to attempt to change the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries"
