My October and November Reading

In my last reading update, I mentioned that I had read the first book in Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series. Since then, apart from reading for my dissertation, that’s pretty much all I’ve read. I just finished The Yellow Admiral, which means that I’ve read 18 of the 21 books (one left unfinished at the author’s death) in the series. Because I was so engrossed in dissertation research on the one hand and these historical novels on the other, I dramatically cut down on my longform reading in Pocket, so this update will be much shorter than past ones. My biggest recommendation would be to give the O’Brian novels a try. They’re engaging, candid, humane, and funny.
