Seems like "reading the dictionary" would be boring - but this book is filled with excellent context setting bits of knowledge. You can tell the author loves pirates and has also read many authoritative books on naval stuff in detail. This is great for me, since the original sources are centuries old and hard to understand.

I used this to provide inspiration for my fiction writing. I just wish there was a book like this about underground caving, mining, or ancient civilizations and their lore. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Marc]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76233520 Elli's review of Pyramids (Discworld, #7)
by Terry Pratchett

Hey Elli - I've been reading discworld books too. On Wyrd sisters. Which ones are worth reading? is #7 better that most? MY favorites are The Truth, and #1 light fantastic? but guards guards and wyrd and Eric weren't so great. ]]> <![CDATA[Marc added 'Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50450881 Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (Paperback) by James Gleick
