      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli

      Okay, okay, for all you other Marryat lovers out there, I promise this will be my last post on one of his pages that I say, yet again, Marryat is awesome! I'll never understand why he isn't much more popular than he is. C.S. Forester has nothing on this guy.
