My spouse, who possesses a puckish sense of humor, just gave a fresh copy of Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser to my 76- year-old mom.
Mom's usually a chick-lit reader.
Hilarity might ensue.

Actually a pretty good book.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Just finished reading The Unthinkable. Some very good anecdotes in it such as the brief interview with Jim Cirillo and the final chapter about Rick Rescorla .

Did you enjoy the Richard Lester (Oliver Reed/Raquel Welch/Michael York/Charlton Heston) Three and Four Musketeers? He did the screenplays, and exhibit the same, um, sensibility.
His memoirs of WWII, Quartered Safe Out Here, are interesting, as is his history of the Scottish and English Borderers, The Steel Bonnets.
