Yep, the Sean Bean/Sharpe love continue unabated. And wow, I have way too much crap all over my desktop. (In theory I like to keep it rather cleaner than this. In practice it never works out that way.)

Ah, now, you didn't tell me at Zcon--where I confessed my new admiration for Sharpe--that you were this into it! *g*

You were so right, by the way, about the author's love. Hmm. I was, I admit, rather disappointed in the series by the end. But the beauty remained, at the least. *g*

I meant to talk with you more about Sharpe, but the conversation went elsewhere and then I forgot to bring it up again. But yeah, I love Sharpe, TV and books both. Though I do wish the movies had a bit more dosh to work with. Staging Waterloo with twenty guys does tend to pale.

I've still got, I think, three of the books to read. I tend to ration them out, one or two a year. I think they are getting a bit tired, and since Cornwell's just filling in the leftover bits now there isn't as much dramatic tension, but I still enjoy the damn things.

It's the only series I've read so much of and not yet gotten sick of. Most other series I read 2 to 4 of, figure out the formula and can't be arsed to read the rest of. I figured out the Sharpe pretty damn quick, but it's one that seems so tailor-made to hit my kinks--low-born bit of scruff with an anti-authoritarian streak and huge competence in matters of war takes on villains foreign and domestic--that I don't care. Ah, Sharpe.
