Anyone else ready this absolute gem of a series?
I'm on the 11th book and it keeps getting better.

Sad that it's only had 1 film so far.

Huh, didn't know the movie came from a book

Are the books as comfy as the movie?

They're phenominal, the accuracy is fantastic and the characters are very human.

I've read them.

Frankly, Patrick O'Brian is better than most mid to late 20th century writers that /lit/ reveres.

Why do women profess a belief in feminism but secretly (or not so secretly) want to get dominated by big, strong, men? Like why is The Handmaiden's Tale considered a nightmare scenario when that's what many (most?) women would actually prefer so long as the patriarch was hot and not some pasty nerd from r9k?

Why do men believe women are inferior creatures but (not so) secretly fetishize every pore on their body and gladly put up with all of their bullshit for a chance to drool on them?

I've read a lot of nautical fiction and non-fiction alike. You name it: Moby Dick, Billy Budd, Lord Jim, Sea Wolf, etc.

Patrick O'Brian is just as good as any of them, maybe even Melville. Hopefully O'Brian will some day get the literary praise he deserves.

Is there a favourite in the series?

I only have a dusty copy of wine dark sea.
