    Totally. Did you read the sequal? Equally as engrossing..

    Reading "Pathfinder" by Orson Scott Card. One of his newer ones. Great so far.

    Just finished "The Big Short"; how Wall St. almost brought down the entire global economy, threw millions out of work and caused millions more to loose their homes, and got away with it clean (with million dolar bonuses for themselves for doing such a good job), courtesy of the US taxpayers.

    A friend from work recommended some books a long time ago. That person has moved on and I'm trying to remember the name of the series. I'm hoping someone here can help with a vague hint.

    It revolved around being on ships (think clippers, schooners, trade ships, all wood, etc.) and it might have been between 1400-1800's. I remember it being really descriptive of what life on the ships were actually like. And I believe it was a fairly long series.

    Horatio Hornblower?
    That would have been my guess too.

    The Divine Comedy is a great read.
    Inferno is my favorite of the series, but the others aren't far behind.

    I'm reading "A Clash Of Kings" by George R.R. Martin. Started it immediately after finnishing "A Game Of Thrones". I'm loving these books! Tyrion Lannister's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in contemporary literature.

    Yeah, probably going to start with Dante, been wanting to read that for a while.

    That would be Jaime Lannister. Tyrion is the midget brother...and a great character.
