/lit/ - Literature

So, I was just randomly reading wikipedia articles, bumped onto Blackadder's Flashheart (Woof!) and found out he is pretty much based on the character Harry Paget Flashman, the protagonist of the Flashman stories by George MacDonald Fraser. Now, I have never heard of them before but they sound like a very fun read.

"Fraser's Flashman is an antihero who runs from danger or hides cowering in fear, betrays or abandons acquaintances at the slightest incentive, bullies and beats servants with gusto, beds every available woman, carries off any loot he can grab, gambles and boozes enthusiastically, and yet, through a combination of luck and cunning, usually ends each volume acclaimed as a hero."

Opinions?
Pic related, its the cover.

Seriously, just compare mustaches.
