My current reads:
A Royal Experiment: The Private Life of King George III by Janice Hadlow; I believe the English title is The Strangest Family. It's a terrific account of the family life of George III, where the royal family serves as a microcosm for societal theories, conditions and changes against the backdrop of the American and Napoleonic Wars, as well as being nice and gossipy, too.
Hunter's Rage by Michael Arnold, the third in his Stryker series. Stryker is billed as the Sharpe of the [English] Civil War and I think the comparison is apt enough. Those who like Sharpe might give this series a try.
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Michael Chabon's first novel and it's delightful. I love novels where summer is palpable and while I'm a little premature reading this, it'll set me up for more summer reads.
