I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

I also recently finished The Wager and thought it was excellent. Can you recommend any other nautical novels I should check out?

Are you wanting fiction or nonfiction??

[–] waxy@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I would be fine with either!

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is a classic if you haven't read it already

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian is one of the greatest series of novels I've ever read. The movie Master & Commander with Paul Bettany and Russel Crowe was an amalgamation of 2 or 3 of the books in that series. It's also the title of the first book in the series.

Thanks, I will add these to the list. That was a good movie.
