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...
My introduction into the series was with an audio book in German. I ordered some used soft covers for the next few volumes in English, and when I was neck deep in I finally splurged on the boxed complete collection in hard cover. I finished my first circumnavigation just a few weeks ago.
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.
One of the things I appreciate about O’Brian’s writing is how he uses music and Jack’s and Stephen’s manner of playing as a reflection of their emotions, sometimes unclear to themselves....
Do you prefer audiobook, softcopy, or hardcopy?
