Peter Weir's 2003 film 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World' gave me the kick in the ass I needed to start reading the legendary series by Patrick O'Brian. This past year I finally read the second novel 'Post Captain' (1972) which easily made my list for my top 10 favorite books I discovered in 2025:

It would require a great philosopher and historian to explain the causes of the famous Seven Years' War, in which Europe was engaged, and in which Barry's regiment was now on its way to take part. Let it suffice to say that England and Prussia were allies... and at war against the French, the Swedes, the Russians, and the Austrians. Check out my 50th anniversary review for 'Barry Lyndon' (1975, dir by Stanley Kubrick):

If 'Downton Abbey' and 'Gosford Park' got drunk and enjoyed a roll in the hay, the offspring would likely resemble the hilarious new spoof comedy 'Fackham Hall'. Definitely see it with a crowd. My review:
