Patrick O'Brian's novels set during the Napoleonic Wars are among my most favorite. Killick, my non-de-mastodon is a character in the series of 20 novels. As I walk about in the 21st Century, I sometimes imagine how I'd explain life today to the two main characters, a ship's captain and his best friend, her surgeon. The characters have almost become real people to me. Even if you think this genre of fiction is far outside your interests, I suggest you give "Master & Commander" a read. It's the first of the books, and a great story in itself. Regular readers call reading each cycle of 20 books a "circumnavigation." I've lost count of my circumnavigations. #PatrickOBrian #Aubreyad #AubreyMaturin #bookstodon #fiction
