The only "good" thing about being laid up for 2 months is I can get lost in Alexander Kent's, "The Bolitho Series"   Historical fiction, 25 book series  about the adventures of a midshipman in the British navy in the 1700's.   

A great read.  Should get me through the summer, sitting on my butt with my foot in the air.

Thanks.  I'm a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell. I'll look into your other author recommendation.

I should have mention Jeffrey Shaara, he is also an excellent historical fiction writer... I think if you plow through all those authors plus your original 25 books, your probably going to be pushing 50 books.
