A rare mix of literature, wit, history and high adventure, the Aubrey/Maturin novels (better known for "Master and Commander", the first novel and the name of the 2003 movie adaptation) has been by far one of my favourite reading experience and a consistent way to lift my (occasionally) sagging spirits.
These epic western novels from the screenwriter of Terms of Endearment and Brokeback Mountain are both high literature and great entertainment – a must read for anyone who enjoy humor, drama and the study of human nature.
