But, count me out. Busy binging The Winter King because Bernard Cornwell is a real writer and programs based on his amazing works is always worth a watch.

My dog is pissed with me and moved into the guest room. LOL

I really enjoyed the series based on his writings about the Viking invasions and effort to consolidate the little dukedoms of Britain, The Last Kingdom. Never read or watched the Sharpes series but seem to recall reading a book about the culture that gave Britain Stonehenge. Wasn't that a Cornwell novel too? So long ago and memory fades a bit.

He has written so many tomes to illustrate so much history that one wonders how one human being could do so much research then turn it all into such incredible twists on old stories. Maybe he never sleeps?

I thought it was probably just a kiss-ass tax write-off, as real a movie as the FIFA Peace prize is a real award.

They could also give me a pie in the face and pants me, if it could make that deal happen.

It's like gene-splicing with samples from Satyricon, Being There and A Confederacy Of Dunces.
