Book 34: The Mauritus Command (O'Brian)

Fourth Aubrey/Maturin novel. They're kind of blurring into each other! Very entertaining, though. I feel like I'm learning about sailing.

Book 33: Spin (Wilson)

Just won the Hugo, I see. Very good science fiction. In Vinge's league for cool ideas, but with recognizably early-21C-on-earth characters.

Book 32: The Assault on Tony's (O'Brien)

Seven (or eight) people trapped (or hiding) in a bar during a riot. Bleak, occasionally funny. By the same guy who wrote Leaving Las Vegas and shot himself at the age of 25 (jerk).

Book 31: Master & Commander (O'Brian)

Excellent Napoleonic wars novel. There are a lot in the series! Action is very fast and described tersely. Characters seem realistic (ie. flawed). Fairly funny, too.

Book 30: Learning the World (MacLeod)

Decent space story, with MacLeod's usual interest in economics. Kind of reminiscent of his Engines of Light world and Vinge's Deepness in the Sky (future humans discover relatively undeveloped aliens). Seemed kind of unfinished, like there could be a few more books.
