Master and Commander - by Patrick O'Brian
Forced myself through 116 pages of it but cannot get any further, as that I have no particular interest in sea-faring stories, the British Navy, or technical details of sailing. It's like Call of the Wild for the navy, complete with the hanging and the swearing. This is actually one story that I believe may be more interesting as a movie if only so I can skip over all the details about the length of the main-mast and staysail.
