Since I've heard quite a few of you guys praise his work over the years (I myself read The Archer's Tale a few years back, but I've forgotten most of it already), I decided to go to the library and see what books of his I could find. I ended up checking out Lords of the North, as it appeared to be a stand-alone novel (I didn't want to risk starting a series if the library didn't have all the books). Haven't started yet, but it's next on my list.

Anyway, my question is this: Are there any of Cornwell's books that are considered "must-reads", and/or books that I should avoid like the plague? Or are they all considered to be generally good?
