I always appreciate tips on good books to read, so here's one for you -- "Agincourt" by Bernard Cornwell. I've been a Cornwell fan for years, starting way back with his sailing thrillers, right through the Richard Sharpe series and King Arthur. But this latest novel is certainly his best. The details of that time period, especially the skill involved in making arrows and longbows, not to mention archery itself, are just fascinating. His main character, Nick Hook, is someone you like because of his very human fears and weaknesses. As usual, Cornwell makes history informative and entertaining.
