Un battello sgangherato, una missione impossibile e due protagonisti indimenticabili: #LaReginadAfrica (#theafricanqueen ) è l'avventura per eccellenza, un film che ha fatto la storia del cinema.

I’m reading 3 books at the moment - it’s good to sit by the fan, reading & getting cool - although I’m tending to read Hornblower before sleep at night. (I’ve 10 books more in the #HoratioHornblower series to get through yet!)

Read my ★★★★★ review of #CSForester's 1938 #ShipOfTheLine, book #2 in my attempt to read all eleven #HoratioHornblower novels, set within the British Navy of the late-1700s Napoleonic Wars. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6583467882

1/4/24 — Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open containers, please.

Why this book, "The African Queen?" It's a classic novel by C.S. Forester, a great John Huston film with Humphrey Bogart & Katherine Hepburn, & I liked the cover. Set in 1914, written in 1935 (this Modern Library edition is from 1940), & a film in 1951, this is a tale that's stuff the test of time. But, the movie is different from the book... Take a look!

#AubreyMaturin is superior to #Hornblower in the same way as #StarTrek is superior to #StarWars.

* #CSForester 's #HoratioHornblower
* #ArthurRansome 's #SwallowsandAmazons (and Racundra's First Cruise, which is not fiction)
* #ErskineChilders 's #TheRiddleOfTheSands

Perhaps try these:
#PhilipReeve - young adult target audience. The #MortalEngines series are place to start.
#GeorgeMacDonaldFraser - the #Flashman books are magnificent historical fiction, though are very politically incorrect.
#CSForester - the #Hornblower books are probably the most enjoyable set of books I've read.
#AdrianTchaikovsky - a prolific writer and the best contemporary #scifi I've read after #iainmbanks. "Children of Time" is a good start
