I started O'Brian's The Wine-Dark Sea a couple of days ago and expect I'll finish it this week. The edition I'm reading is a hardcover first that my wife picked up for a song at our local book-selling, empty-your-basement weekend event. I don't know if it's the hardcover or the words on the page that make this one a good read, but it is. Better than some of his preceding ones, perhaps he just got back into the groove.

(If this map doesn't show a sailboat near Hawaii, view this entry by itself. The entry for The Truelove must still be showing on this page.)
I'm not finished with the book yet and doubtlessly will have more to say about it later on.
