Is nautical fiction the literature master race?

No that would be existentialist fiction.

Accusations of homoeroticism usually comes from people who do not understand the platonic love that develops between men in strenuous conditions. Honestly it shows a lack of emotional nuance, and stunted emotional growth.

The names are literally sex jokes

the normies think hornblower is a euphemism and not actually a character.

Nautical fiction is underrated desu. Yes even considering the height of praise in which Moby-Dick is held.

About to start the third book in the Aubrey/Maturin series, first two were great

How does Hornblower compare?

Read Moby Dick, was awesome.
Old Man and the Sea
Started reading The Ghost Pirates.
Considered Horatio Hornblower.
Watched the Master and Commander movie and read a little bit of the first book to slake my thirst.

And then just like that, my nautical boner disappeared. I forgot all about the seafaring section of my project I'm writing, which all this consumption was inspiration for.

Now I'm on something else. Does this happen to anybody else?

try also to ignore what now strongly resembles a very large dick and balls in the above image at upper right. surely it can be unseen without much difficulty

Was pretty fucking funny, kinda wished the whole "oh shit we gotta escape France" thing lasted longer. I would love seeing the two of them go on undercover escapades.

>>8745986
The third one is where Aubrey-Maturin really gets started.

>>8746602

Kinda really makes me want to go back and continue the first book.

Don't say that, I have other books to read, I can't binge 17 of them in a row

my whole life is starting to make sense now

nautical fiction is love, nautical fiction is life

>>8745486
Aubrey & Maturin get mad pussy. I still dream what Diana Villiers looks like probably a blue eyed Eva Green.

I don´t know

>>8750378
They're both heroes that's for sure. Maturin was /lit/ too
