Fictional Pyrate Literature

[julius27]

I enjoyed "The Guardship" immensely. I ain't 'ad a chance ta read the other two yet, but I'm sure I'll like them just as much. I also need to get on the Jack Aubrey cannon as my cusin got me "Master and Commander" and "The Far Side of the World" for x-mas. There are actually several books between the two, but I'll see if that affects my enjoyment of the story. Not bloody likely.

The Curse of Treasure Island (sequel) by Francis Bryan

I actually read this one and to my immense surprise it was far too bleak/violent for me. I eat Stephen King books for breakfast but this one made me go 'E-ew-w'. There was really no point where I was enjoying it.

I read 'Captain Blood' and 'The Black Swan' back to back and liked both of them but Captain Blood was much, much, better. Arabella was a better damsel. Blood was a better pirate. More actual pirating. Good stuff.

Eh, no names spring to mind at the moment...but i've found the fantasy section of ya local library of book store sometimes holds the goods on pirates, (can't see why, they're more real than those pesky elves will ever be....pointy eared...flower eating....BAH)

now where'd i put that whiskey...

Just started "Porto Bello Gold" by Howden-Smith... if you liked "Treasure Island", read this one... written in a similar style to RLS, with many of the same characters as "Treasure Island"... good read...
