Well you could but it would probably lead to duels and blood and death and nobody wants that, do they?<br /><br />Plus, you have read one of the funniest parts in the whole series: when the snake makes Jack climb up on that chair and Stephen keeps telling him the thing is poisonous even though it's not... Awesome!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-4342783633622516182010-01-04T11:42:55.689-09:002010-01-04T11:42:55.689-09:00Ahoy, Pauline!

I am ashamed to say that I have only read a few of the Aubrey/Maturin novels (Master & Commander, HMS Surprise and one other) but they are very good. I know I still have a couple that you gave me to read sitting on my nightstand (along with so many other unread/unfinished books)... I really need to spend more time reading and less time watching TV. Another New Year's resolution?Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-54516245423449452952010-01-04T09:19:22.830-09:002010-01-04T09:19:22.830-09:00Bonjour, Alex!

Always a favorite.<br /><br />Obviously, given the subject matter around here, I talk about O'Brian a good deal. He really was the best. Hope to hear from you again and soon.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-27107778477765961572010-01-03T19:18:24.061-09:002010-01-03T19:18:24.061-09:00Hi Pauline,
