I’m still plugging away at the Aubrey-Maturin series and I’m still enjoying it, about halfway through HMS Surprise.  I mentioned it to a friend recently about the series and I agreed with her that it’s probably a bit of an acquired taste but if you’re in to sailing and/or military or historical fiction you should check it out.

Also, you should check out PBS Video if you haven’t recently.  Although some of the content is geofenced (and there are ways around that if you’re creative) there’s a lot of good stuff there for the watching.  Lately I’ve been enjoying American Experience in particular, oh how I wish we had PBS in Canada.
