Have you read Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series? If not, I strongly
recommend all 20 and a half books in the series (or is that 21 and half
books??). Best author I have ever had the pleasure to read.
The New York Times book list seems to like him too.

Master and Commander requested from our library (and from Netflix).

the movie is not much at all like the
books. if you won't read them you are
missing the boat (so to speak).
They are for my Lovey-poo, if she is happy, it will make me happier than
all the boats in the world.

Thanks again for the tips, and advice. When it comes to literature I am
a stranger in a strange land.

for science fiction that does get
you wondering again try Alastair Reynolds
(almost everything he's written i have
enjoyed).
Noted for the next time I wander away from my pile of unread books.

Thanks

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would take. Just once.
