If you like historical fiction, I can definitely recommend The Flashman series. The author, George MacDonald Fraser plucked the character, Harry Flashman, from the book Tom Brown's School Days and wrote a whole series of historical novels around him.
In these books Harry is always at the center of momentous events in Victorian England (ex., Charge of the Light Brigade, Retreat from Kabul etc) and, although he is a coward and a womanizer, he always is mistakenly seen as the hero.
Very funny and very historically accurate books.
