If there is such a thing as reincarnation, then I must have been a seaman at some point. Not a Jack Aubrey, just a regular guy. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Right now my current bedside reading is more pirate-related (Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age, by Marcus Rediker) and recently read books are Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentlemen Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail by Stephen Bown, and In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick.<BR/><BR/>All excellent books, those. Now you have helped me choose what will go on the reading pile next.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-20902374525080798462008-04-08T21:42:00.000+01:002008-04-08T21:42:00.000+01:00Ooooooh you read P O'B!

Thank you for sharing!<BR/><BR/>I wish I could also spell colour with a "u" like you do because it looks so much better that way.<BR/><BR/>I haven't read "21" either, but now I think I should...while I'm flying to Rome. *sigh*tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.com
