My fav is still Hornblower.

Right on with that.

I discovered the Hornblower books when I was in high school and read
them all. They just keep getting better and better as you learn more
about boats, people and history.


The Hornblower series is great, but my all-time favorite "seagoing" novel
remains Moby-Dick, followed by the Odyssey.

I am a Michael Crichton and John Grisham fan. My interests in books are not
strictly nautical related.

I never read the Horatio Hornblower collection but it looks like I may have
to give him a look.
