: : Some of you are replying to the Patrick O'Brian thread in the "archive" section, which doesn't work, so I'm starting a new thread here.
: : I read about a third of "The Wine-Dark Sea", and it was like wading through molasses. I also didn't see any comparison to Vance's style.
I strongly disagree, sir. Both Vance & O'Brian use the English language in a stately manner that both entertains and edifies. As a major fan of these talented avitars, I suggest you start with 'Master and Commander'... I envy your discoveries to come.
