A port of call for readers of Patrick O'Brian's beloved series. Lively conversation, vigorous debate, and naturally puns are all most welcome.

It will take time (and OC!) for any community to feel adequate to filling reddit's shoes, so, gentlemen: the bottle stands by you!

Do you prefer audiobook, softcopy, or hardcopy? (self.aubreyandmaturin)

I've circumnavigated the audiobooks with Patrick Tull quite happily, and only recently picked up the first book (and #8 FSotW) at the used book store because I want to represent my shipmates on my bookshelf. I'm a big reader generally, but hadn't read this series because I pretty much only buy my books at the used book store, and one can't control what one finds. It was a joy to visit the music room at Port Mahon again, and it occurs to me be to ask:

How do you prefer to follow our friends Aubrey and Maturin?

I give you joy of your travels. Which hard cover did you get? Not the Folio Society, I imagine?

Why good sir, I have never yet known a man to admit that he was either rich or asleep. Mine is HarperCollins' boxed set edition. Folio Society, forsooth.
