Graves' other books, especially Count Belisarius

Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian

Gore Vidal's Julian, and Creation

Sienkiewicz's "Seriously, fuck Germans" series

Clavicle's Shogun

Ursula le Guin's Lavinia doesn't really fit the bill but still good

Wolfe's Latro in the Mist

Bengsston (?) The Long Ships

All of the above are generally considered good/~literary~, but Sinkiewicz is old romantic nationalism so YMMV, le Guin is a bit more obscure than the rest

I heard the Leopard was supposed to be good. Don't know if that even counts though.

Are these any good? Goodreads doesn't seem to like them.

I'm a big fan of Dorothy Dunnett. She wrote a standalone (11th century) and two series of 6 and 8 eight books, set in the 16th and 15th centuries, respectively. Great books.

There's also Mika Waltari (only read the Egyptian, but it was very good), Mary Renault (ancient Greek stuff), Colleen McCullough (ancient Rome stuff), Flashman, Aubrey & Maturin, Hornblower...

The Three Musketeers and its sequels, of course.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
