Is anyone else a fan of the Flashman books by Geroge MacDonald Fraser?

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, its a series about the life of a Victorian soldier named Harry Flashman who is the complete antithesis of the idealised Victorian hero. He's a liar, a cheat, a rapist and a murderer but always manages to come out of his escapades smelling like roses.

I enjoyed the first one, haven't read any others.

Yep, got most of them, much enjoyment all round, if a bit silly and dated now. Needs to be filmed.
