Last night I began reading Master and Commander as an e-book on my palm. It is well written, though there are period and nautical references which I have to look up. For those beginning the series may I suggest "Patrick O'Brian's Navy - The Illustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey's World."
It is a testiment to the movie that as I read, I visualize the characters as they were portrayed in the film.
