Being a HS English teacher...I am an obsessive reader...

Cornwell:
The Grail Quest Series
The Saxon Stories
Agincourt

ANYTHING by JRR Tolkien
George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire
Robert Jordan's (RIP) Wheel of Time series
SM Stirling's Emberverse Series

I could literally go on for hours...

I read so much that a book has to jump up and slap me to be memorable.
Larry McMurtry's " The Berrybender Chronicles" did just that. Believe the
title is correct though "Saga" seems appropriate. Best thing I have read in a while.

So I finished the Grail Series by Cornwell.
Have Agincourt sitting here but was wondering should this be next or maybe the Saxon Stories?

:)

Have read Tolkien, Jordan... many others.

Stonedog, thats a good short list you posted above.
I'm a bit of an obsessive reader as well, sometimes 2-3 books / week in spite of 2 jobs, family, & hunting.  Been doing it for decades - finding good books becomes more difficult.
I've been looking for a list of hunting & adventure books, including historical fiction like Cornwell's, and including some SF/F like Tolkein, Martin, Jordan.
Do you by any chance have a list published anywhere, maybe goodreads or one of the swap sites?  I've been meaning to get a couple lists started in the hopes that others would add to my list & I'd find some good reading that way, if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear/see them!
