Anyone else a fan? I'm just rereading Flashman's lady for about the 10th time, and it's brilliant. So well written, expertly plotted and brilliantly researched, as well as being highly amusing.

If you havn't read any flashman and are interested in history (especially colonial) and historical fiction, you should definitely give one read.

If that link makes them sound horribly cheesy and shallow - they're not. Trust.
