I'll show you a nutmeg of consolation...



It is with great relief and heady anticipation that I note that the Patrick O'Brian reading group is back and in session. Huzzah. Huzzah. Huzzah.

By next week, please to have read in through "The Ionian Mission" with special attention to Capt. Aubrey's relations with other commanders and his men.

Suggested topic for first meeting: compare and contrast the duality of male bonding and competition in "Master and Commander" and "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby".

Now this is a topic I can run with: "Aubrey and Maturin: Napoleonic Shake and Bake?"
