I can't really seem to get into him, and haven't tried the Elric books at 
all.

 BL>  IMO, Lee Child is the best, Even his name sounds American!

To the point where I wasn't sure which nationality he was.  Haven't read 
him, though.

It's always been "Emperor of India" that staggered me for sheer hubris...

You've got a Filofax, haven't your?  ;-)

     Regards,

              Robert.
