I chewed through the first two books in about a week this spring but decided to slow it down. I'm now just starting HMS and am really glad I did so. Savoring one to three of the books per year seems a great way to spend the next decade.

I finished HMS Surprise a few months ago, after having read Post Captain late last year and Master and Commander a half year before that. Going through the series about one book every 6-10 months is a really nice pace. It'll take me a few years to get through all the books so I don't burn out on them, but often enough that I don't forget what happened in the last one.
