Curate, connect, and discover
At last, I'm starting The Far Side of the World. I will finally know how accurate the movie is to the book.
I have some extra audible credits. Would you recommend using them on the Aubrey-Maturin serie?

I've started Master and Commander, and 2 hours in I have the following to report:
They're doing the fastest Enemies to Friends to Shipmate Speedrun.
Each of them infodumping in turn, then talking about music.
They have the following DELIGHTFUL exchange, about Castillan and Catalan (as best as I can remember it):"But they're quite similar? A putain, as they say in French? - Oh non, they're different languages. And a patois, if you please. - Oh ? I'm sure the other word exists, I think I've heard it."
A guy who Jack is talking to for the first time snitches on another by saying that he's gay. Then asks what Jack thinks of this "buggery business".
For the record, Jack is against it, but doesn't like to see a man hang for it. It turns out that Lt Snitch doesn't really have anything concrete, it's more of a vibe-based accusation.
I'm letting all nautical talk gently flow through me without making any impression. I think Maturin is doing the same.
