And with today's completion of Blue at the Mizzen by Patrick O'Brian I have officially read all of the complete books in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Salute to Mr. O'Brian. Superbly immersive historical fiction. I do think I'm going to read the start of the unfinished next book and the reference terminology book.

Next up I am considering whether I want to continue with Napoleonic War era series. There's Horatio Hornblower for more naval novels and the Sharpe series for the Army perspective. But I also have a huge list of classics I've never read and a variety of random stuff picked up at book sales so we'll see.
