[MrShelmerdine]

Captures history perfectly,as if he's been there.

[mrmemanme]

he has a cannon in his garden, no way!!!

[danogzilla]

@mrmemanme you don't?

[ivaflimkien]

Edmund Burke is your hero??? I used to love Bernard's books but his anti-Christianity made me resent him :S but hey Edmund Burke is seen as the founder of us conservatives...isn't Bernard Cornwell a Liberal?

[SantanaEliasJeremy]

Till this day i regret the woman i passed up in high school :(

[steleona1]

If you enjoy the Saxon series, try Sigurd's Saga on Youtube.

[higoshimaru]

The Fort is one of my favorite books

[andrewceg]

i got my girl friend in to the sharpe books she hats war and killing and so on but as soon as she picked it up she started reading and dident stop. now she and i are both reading rebel and i am going on to copperhead

[Baseballschaap]

this man, is a living legend

[MrWhitescarf]

I love how geekish he sounds when he talks about firepower, I love it because I love reading that kind of info!!!

[findjinn]

I saw the Winter King in the store, said to myself "this looks interesting", bought it. Crushed it in two days - couldn't stop myself. Raced to buy Enemy of God immediately after reading Winter King. Crushed it in three days. Raced to buy Excalibur yesterday. I am almost done reading it. Wow Cornwell is great.

[LordDervelCadarn]

Dervel is my bloody hero! Yes I did just make two different profiles.

[CaptainRichardSharpe]

Sharpe is my bloody hero!

[MrWhitescarf]

@CaptainRichardSharpe Mine too :)

[lolbewbz]

"Sharpe carried this... its one of the worst swords ever made." Nice :)

[Westparadise6]

"it was used at Waterloo... I use it to cut long grass" awesome.

[MrBrownie145]

what a lovely man! Bloody envious of his library and knowledge!

[5Metalgod5]

its azincourt, not agincourt

[666satanification666]

@5Metalgod5 Too right. Although, in the words of Cornwell himself: "we won the battle, we can call it whatever we like!" Haha.

[5Metalgod5]

@666satanification666 I meaning the book is called Azincourt, in the description it says the novel is named Agincourt, which is wrong

[MrWhitescarf]

@5Metalgod5 aren't both spellings correct (I think I read it somewhere)

[Angoar55]

The best Autor.

[MrAlittlelost]

no...no...Richard Sharpe is the best

an Italian fun

[Horsewarsfreak]

Uhtred is the best!

[IcyScythe]

Saxon and Arthur series are the best!

Uthred is my favorite. Such a badass.

[Kingofsomething87]

@IcyScythe mine too. The most badass character

[Baledwyr]

More like, what a great author, you can really tell he is a true "historian"

[lukeclews]

What a great author, you can really tell he is a true Englishman.

[BuzanTheFear1ess]

I read Agincourt when i was 15, it inspired me to take French in 10th grade.

[wiggy1988]

Still remember when I first stumbled across this guy. I walked into a portable library to return something and saw a book with a hussar charging on its cover (Sharpes Havoc) well that was it...I bought every book he had ever written.

[Oirghialla89]

he is my absolute favorite writer of all time have almost all of his books :) Sharpe series is my favorite tho,its pure quality!

[Baledwyr]

I was bloody damned addicted to the Arthur books! I kept running back up stairs to pick up the book because I wanted so very DESPERATELY to find out what happened next! ...Who am I kidding, I've done that with EVERY Cornwell book! XD

[thedekutree]

I'm about 170 pages into the first one, I'm finding it pretty hard going, finding there is not much of a story but my faith in Cornwell makes me read on, did you find this? does it take time to pick up?

[Infantryman123]

Love the Sharpe series! His book on Agincourt was good too. Very interesting interview,he seems like a interesting person to meet.

[NAMEMEPLEASE]

Im reading Agincourt rigtht now and it kicks major ass.

[lingojac]

@NAMEMEPLEASE I am reading it atm, i'm loving it

[Null81]

I absolutely loved the Aurthurian trilogy, going to buy Agincourt Soon.

[alqxcute]

The first book by him I read was The Pale Horseman, and I got sucked into it by the first or second chapter. I've read Lords of the North too and am crazy for more! (I'm Singaporean and I got the 2 books from the national library)

[ThaiEgho]

you should read ''The last kingdom'' its the prequal to ''The Pale Horseman'' and i think it is the better one of the 2.

[HidsRSB]

Bernard's books are awesome, I have all of his books

[srsorel666]

Video was really interesting. Maybe one day Mr. Cornwell will have time to read my book too! I love his writing, he's an excellent author, the best.

[AdamAus85]

Fantastic author. I have 10 of his books and I know I will keep collecting and reading them.

[harrinski]

Bernard Cornwell is an amazing author. I am quite young, was 14 when i first picked up one of his books (vagabond). I was immediately amazed by his books and now, 2 years and 9 of his books later, I do not think there is another author who I can enjoy as much. The Warlord Chronicles were amazing books and I actually miss not having a book like them which makes me want to go to bed in the evening so I can carry on reading about Arthur and Merlin.

Wow I do sound quite sad don't I :D

[staffordshirebull909]

lol im fourteen and just picked up one em sunday
