Can anyone recommend some historical fiction?

Switchback, there is a whole thread dedicated to Historical fantasy, have you checked it out yet?

Pillars of the earth is a great books spanning 50 years in 12 century Europe.
 
No, I haven't checked out that thread. Thanks for the heads up...

And yeah, Pillars is one I have written down to check out at the book shop today. Thanks.
 
Try either Gates of Fire or Tides of War by Steven Pressfield if ancient greece is your thing:)
 
Shogun - James Clavell
Lonesome Dove - Larry McMurtry.
Trinity- Leon Uris

Also, Mary Renault for Ancient Greece. Very good writer and researcher.

And as was stated in another thread, Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles for Scotland and the world around the time of Henry VIII. Starts with The Game of Kings.
 
Oops! my bad, actually a whole sub-forum dedicated to the topic.
