Sharpes TIGER has Sharpe as a private in the British army at the siege of Seringapatam, India in 1799
The infamous Sgt Hakeswill legendary in the TV series is depicted well in this book and escapes death in battle and during capture, better than a cat with nine lives and is resolutely and deliciously despicable. But there are no Sharpes rifles or chosen men here, instead tiger striped tunics, Light Company and jettis.

I've been reading a lot of non-fiction recently, autobiographies mainly. I just finished Life on Air, the memoirs of David Attenborough which is thoroughly entertaining and informative.
I've just started The Stand by Stephen King, the re-printed, uncut edition. I've read some of King's early works such as It and Christine, but I'd never read this so I thought I'd give it a whirl. At 1500 pages it's not gonna be a quick read...
Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott card, sequel to Ender's Shadow, which in turn is like a sequal/equal to Ender's Game
I loved the afterword where he was explaining how he wrote abotu his characters, as that was exactly what I had decided about how I was writing mine not two months before : )

well untill I can get access to the FTP again it will stay unfriendly to webtv. I need to get my ftp account back to make changes to the forum.. somehow it got deleted it seems. Once I get in there though the offending Java code can be removed and the site will work fine for both webtv and regualr net users. I hope anyway.
"The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle was the last book I read. Beautiful! The last "stuff" I read was "Lucifer", an off-spin series from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman", and brilliant they are, both of them.
Currently I do not read anything because I have some important exam next week and are learning a lot of biology and chemistry stuff.
Parting is all we know from Heaven, and all we need of hell.
Yes, it is brilliant. The first part of the first story is a bit akward, because it's situated in some unrealistic Cliché-Germany like some uneducated american would imagine it, but after that it really becomes brilliant.
As usual for Sandman stories, there are several Artists at work in course of the series (but good ones), so just have look for youself I'd recommend!
