I was just sitting in the living room currently reading Vagabond and was thinking to myself… “Wow! That Bernard Cornwell really changed my life.” What I mean is that before discovering the BBC Sharpe Miniseries I would never be spending my free time lounging around reading a book. But after repeatedly watching Sean Bean I moved on to the books… All of them. Since then I have read the Starbuck Chronicles, Arthur series, Saxon series… and as above mentioned the Grail Quest series. (Not to mention many books of other various authors.) I guess I should thank you for opening my eyes to the joy of reading. I was a jock growing up… in Texas… and yes the stereotypes are there for a reason… I started reading you at around 22ish (29 now) and I know that without your books, I would never have started reading. So, with great (insert $5 word here) Thank You Ryan Harper
