I'd add Grendel by John Gardner to the list. The tale of Beowulf told first person from the "monster's" perspective.
Chris,
Thanks!
I have never read that and it sounds intriguing.
Michael
Good list of books.
I've always been surprised that neither Skin Tight nor Flashman have been made into movies.
Chris,
I think Flashman was made into a very bad movie years ago.
It would be great if the BBC made it into a series but that's unlikely.
