Finished up Post Captain, book 2 in the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. The more I read these books, the more I liken them to the buddy movie genre--think Lethal Weapon. <geek reference ahead> But if you fast forwarded the Aubrey-Maturin books a zillion years into the 23rd century, don't you think you'd get Kirk and Spock?
Currently reading: Vagabond, book 2 of the Grail Quest series by Bernard Cornwell. Gore and guts, here we come.
