List 1- Thing 73

73. Read the entire Hornblower series of books

I finished Hornblower and the Atropos today. While the first two books are still my two favorites... this one definitely had some freakin incredible moments!

I loved his sunken treasure adventure the most, I think. But the others were just as great. I loved watching Horatio contending with both married life and life at sea at the very same time. The Atropos is a neat little ship; it's fantastic to watch Hornblower come to think of it as his home. There's a crew Hornblower really has to mold and watch out for... especially when other nationalities are thrown into the mix. There's humor, adventure, action, angst, worry, terror... and one part that made me absolutely weak with desire *EG*
