My dear Captain Cookie, POB .......... I must admit, when I last tried to re-read the entire series, just a few months ago, I didn't find him stuffy! Of course...
... Perhaps I should have said "tedious," rather than stuffy. I'm thinking particularly of that Mauritius book, which I don't think I ever did manage to...
I guess I'll weigh in on this. Having read Hornblower and Bolitho in their entireties, I found POB, initially, a bit off-putting. Where Forester and Kent...

I came to much the same conclusion; of the three series, I have read and reread (Hornblower, Bolitho and Aubrey/Maurtin) I find that POB requires more effort,...

I couldn't agree more. IMHO P O'B books are very difficult to read. The style is very off-putting. I have said that here before. I recently started borrowing...
I try to re-read the Asian Saga, ( Shogun, Noble House, King Rat, etc ) by James Clavell once a year, but lately that has become every other year, I also...
Have you ever experience a sort of deja vu reading a book? I was struck by this passage in Chapter Nine of "The Letter of Marque:" "Dr. Maturin turned twice to...

Brian Ruby's comments about Patrick O'Brian are dead on. I am a big fan of POB now but the start was rough. It took me six months or so to read the first...

I haven't read David Eddings....in decades! But I did fully enjoy the Belgarad series, and the the Mallorean (sp?) Not so much the Sparhawk series, but I read...
