I just read 2001: A Space Odyssey, and it was hands down the best science fiction I've ever read. Never felt like I had to suspend my belief. I've never seen the movie, but I'm afraid it might be too dated to enjoy - then again, Kubrick's other works seem to have stood the test of time.

A Space Odyssey takes an unusual palette to sit through it.. theres very little verbal dialogue in the movie.. But it definitely makes it point. We need to be better stewards of this Planet Earth. the movie 2010 with Roy Scheider,John Lithgow and Helen Mirren was pretty good,too...

A critical one as it where Sharpe saves the life of the Duke of Wellington and puts him on the path of officership.

But not as far north as Macedonia?

WSS

No, a couple of the Sharp books start out in India, where the British had a heavy military presence and had several conflicts with the locals. Then they shipped him first to Denmark, then to Portugal/Spain which was the main field of contention...and battle wise between the French and the British during the Napoleanic Wars. After England more or less drove the French out of Spain after several years of fighting there were some battles in the south of France....then Waterloo of course (which is in Belgium).

Macedonia was either part of Greece or the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or the Ottoman Empire. I do not believe the British and French fought in that vicinity during the Napoleanic Wars.

does Sharpe ring a bell? There are a few of those in full length. Is this one you speak of a stand alone book?

Sharp was made into a series starring Sean Bean. Loved Sean Bean in the role. Better than anything else he has been in. Plus I liked the other actors in their roles as well.

unfortunately the entire Saxon Tales series is available only in abridged version on audible.

WSS

I don't understand that because each individual book is really not that long. Only 200-300 pages. I have read a couple of them over like 2 days. Unless the audio books are combining more than 1 written novel together is shouldn't be abridged. There is a new one coming out soon. (The Empty Throne I think it is called)

(Agincourt is not a part of the Saxon Tales series)

One of my favorites is apparently going to be made into a movie: Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell. To be directed by Michael Mann:

Mann also directed "Last of the Mohicans" with Daniel Day Lewis, which is a favorite movie of mine. So hopefully this will go well, though Agincourt is still considered "Under Development".

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, this would probably work as a trilogy since each story is connected but not to large extent as GoT or Malazan Book of the Fallen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Thomas_Covenant

Wheel of time series may be the next series for me to check out...
