- at some point in your life, you will hit the age of Maximum Vulnerability to Becoming a Patrick O’Brian fan, and then it is far too late for you
- A friend lent me Master and Commander 20+ years ago and it didn’t hit. About four years ago I started reading them again, and I couldn’t put them down. Visited my parents and hey look what was at the local used bookstore… the whole series all in one place. I had them shipped home.
