Taking a break

I’ve reached the end of The Wine-Dark Sea and I’m going to take a break to read some other stuff before finishing off this round of re-reading. According to some posters in the Gunroom the quality falls off a bit near the end of the series, which is to be expected, really. Still, there are a lot of good scenes to look forward to.

Right now I’m reading a bio of Charles De Gaulle, in Swedish.

My Patrick O’Brian “reviews”

Just capsules.

  1. Master and Commander
  2. Post Captain
  3. HMS Surprise
  4. The Mauritius Command
  5. Desolation Island
  6. The Fortune of War

I’ve read the entire series multiple times, but haven’t written reviews for all the novels. If you want more information, check out the Patrick O’Brian wiki.
