Must Read Books

Old Man and the Sea!

There are (ready for this?) 20 completed Master and Commander novels plus one unfinished book published after O'Brian's death. I have read all of them - some twice.

That's dedication! I've read the first couple twice, since there was a long spread between when I first started reading them and when I got a full set in 6 volumes. Honestly, I'd probably be a lot further along, but I got a Kindle, and don't want to re-buy them, and got used to reading digital, etc etc etc...

Still, very good books.

All 20 of those are on my cd's, guess I will give them a shot after the book I am reading now, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I prefer the Temeraire series of novels by Naomi Novik. Master & Commander-style historical novels but with dragons.

Let me know what you think of Fear?

Tastes vary. I've re-read Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins perhaps more than any other book. Then again, I'm a red head. You'd have to be one to understand my appreciation for the book.

.....wish I had the time to read more novels. I'm only good for a couple a year; typically on vacation. Every time I finish a novel I say to myself, "I really need to read one more often." Guess my challenge is that I don't like to read in short spurts. I want to immerse myself for at least 3-4 hours at a time. Seems like I only have that kind of time alone when I'm on an airplane or chilling at a beach for a few days on vacation.
