    Read those.

    For me it's Hornblower stuff, Faulkner's the Reivers, some more Auden (guy was a fucking genius), and any Thomas Wolfe.

    But right now I want to read good books about pirates.

    Please love yourself.

      Any Harry Potter
      Moby Dick
      Lolita
      War and Peace

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Kluurs, George, go read Lolita.

          Fascinating.

              @jon-nyc Haven't read much Austen. Other than that I have the rest covered.

              Please love yourself.

                Read those in the thread starter, read all the Hornblowers. Have no desire to delve off into the Deep Classics.

                  Try the A-M series...

                  Not so many pirates, but the twenty book series is actually one long story...

                    @Jolly The AM series was outstanding. It inspired me to read the 1st book, but I, for some reason, put it down after finishing.
