ReplyDeleteI need to reread this series. It's a balm for difficult times.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true! I've read them all, but now I'm listening to the audiobooks, getting them from the library in as close to correct order as I can. The narrator is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAubrey and Maturin is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe second funniest line in English literature.

Nope. The funniest line is "He who would pun would pick a pocket." I quote it all the time, then have to explain where it came from. (The lesser of two weevils!)
ReplyDeleteNo love for "Jack, you have debauched my sloth"?
ReplyDeleteNote I said the second funniest line. The two quotes above are both in the top 3 as well.
ReplyDeleteSo what IS the funniest line?
ReplyDeleteHumza wins, Torah Cottrill. It's the debauched sloth. But lesser of two weevils is right there. Also the "dog watches are cur-tailed" or at least Jack telling that joke and trying not to mess it up.
ReplyDeletethe pun quote is the most useful in actual conversation, as you noted.
ReplyDeleteAw shit I forgot about cur-tailed.
ReplyDeleteNice catch.
