The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O' Brien. 22 or 23 in all; should keep you occupied the next 2-3 years.


More like 6 months. Those books were like crack to me.

And I believe there are 20 completed books and then he passed away in the middle of #21.

This is the basis of "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World".

Four four-hundred page books a month? You're either a man of leisure … or fondness for Adderall.

Hey, j/k, don't get riled.

I believe it took me two and a half years to plow through the series back in the early 90's when I lived in Little Rock. What a fascinating world O'Brien created … or should I say, recreated. I plan to reread the series in the idle hours of my declining years.
