Sharpe's Company.

Love Bernard Cornwell but I'm too easily distracted by the internet and TV now to burn through books like I used to.

I like Cornwell. You should try Simon Scarrows Macro and Cato series if you haven’t already.

Bit Rot by Douglas Coupland. He talks briefly mentions the fall out from his book generation X. Not only did he coin that particular phrase I didn't realise McDonalds had a protracted campaign to get his invented and derogatory word "McJob" removed from the dictionary.

I’ve been working my way through the latter end of Gerald Seymour’s books.
My wife forbade me from asking the youngest grandson if he had read “Lord of the Flies”.
