I'm also reading a ton of Bernard Cornwells' historical fiction. I've read everything he's done in the Alfred/Vikings saga and I'm currently reading his 100 years war trilogy. He's a little hit and miss stylistically, but I'm willing to put up with that for his quality research. Still, he doesn't have anything except accessibility over Colleen McCoullugh in the historical fiction department.

Bernard Cornwell is my number one choice in the easy reading department. Great, fun books.
