Showpan posted:On another note, I have heard that if you read Aubrey/Maturin first then the Hornblower series can be a little bit disappointing. Any truth to that, or should I get on board with those books as well? It's true, but don't let that stop you. I went into Hornblower looking down my nose at it, but after a hundred pages or so I could enjoy it for what it was. Who knows, some people feel the two series are comparable in quality, and some people prefer Hornblower, so maybe you will as well (I hope not though, God what a life). Robert Graves's Claudius novels are good historical fiction, so are Mary Renault's books, but there's nothing in the universe really comparable to twenty books about two dudes.
