Wow! You got Master and Commander and read it already? I'm amazed! The book is written in a very high register, many native speakers of English have thrown in the towel on it. Did it bother you at all that they were fighting the French? Though O'Brian's characterization of the French isn't negative at all. I must defend the seeming lack of plot because there are 19 more books in the series--each novel is less a novel than a chapter. Oh the complexity.

Mazel tov on the wedding and happy Hanukah. We are going to one or two Hanukah parties this evening, depending on how my two year old holds up.
