Well, considering that I have been so long without a post, I figured I might as well begin the process of re-entry with another wonderful book by Patrick O'Brian. The Far Side of the World is the story of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin upon which the movie is based. The movie is really a loose conglomeration of the first ten books in the series based primarily on the story setting of the Far Side of the World. It is a tense and wonderful book which involves several strandings of primary characters (oh my!) and even a shipwreck (no!). As always I recommend the book, Patrick captures the essence of his drive with minute precision and really draws you into the feelings of his characters. So, read the books!
