I've found some good userpic - they're all credited, so feel free to snag, credit and use in your own journal! I have to say I love your icon - 'The Great Mouse Detective' is one of the best animated films.
Oooh, the Aubrey/Maturin books! I'm only up to 'Far Side of the World,' but thus far 'HMS Surprise' and 'The Fortunes of War' are my favorites as well - seriously! Though the chase with the Leopard and the butterbox in 'Desolation Island' had me gasping in suspense, it was so exciting and well written. But 'Surprise' has so much Stephen, whether humor (the sloth!!) or angst (torture, Dil, Diana). And 'Fortunes' has the wombat and Stephen being a superspy in Boston, and more Diana...
But those books are so addicting - pure literary crack. I knew within the first five pages of Master and Commander that I was hooked..
You know, it's almost eerie how many of us on longpidcc are also Age of Sail enthusiasts with a yen for Matthew Macfadyen.
