I like to ask this question every few months.
Currently reading Life of Pi by Yang Martel. Saw the movie a few months ago and wanted to read the book. The one I just finished was called Black Ice by Michael Connelly. It’s one of the Bosch books.

The Never Ending Story, previous was Flashman and the Tiger. The first half of Never Ending Story is the basis for the first movie, the second half is more or less the second movie. Flashman and the Tiger is probably the least of the Flashman books, but they are all solid historical fiction with notes concerning the real events they were based on. Harry Flashman is a man you would hate IRL, but is quite fun to read about.
I’ve had the Neverending Story for a few years but still haven’t read it. I’ll get to it. Loved the movie
Flashman. These are greate recommendations. That's solidly going back on my "reread" list. I learned a ton of history from those books!
I enjoyed Flashman more than I thought I would. I've read quite a bit of historical fiction set in the Napoleonic and Victorian eras. Flashy is definitely one of those "yeah hes an total asshole by he's our asshole" types.
