Saw Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World today. It was superbly done.
I had read Roger Ebert's review and I had listened to the review on NPR Morning Edition. Though both reviews were quite complimentary, I found myself more in agreement with Ebert. I had also heard an interview with the author of the book on NPR All Things Considered.
All of this sparked an interest in reading the book. I am trying to locate the ebook so I can read it in my Palm. I also went to the library and checked out "Patrick O'Brian's Navy" to broaden my understanding of what was going on in the book and film.
There are twenty books in the series and I have heard they are extremely accurate and are followed with an avidity surpassed only by the fans of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
Via Palm Reader on my Palm Tungsten, I am currently reading Winston Churchill's The Gathering Storm and listening to the audible.com audio book of Steve Martin's The Pleasure of My Company.
More about what some may consider my un-natural affection for my Palm Tungsten later.
