If you enjoy historical adventure the Hormblower series by C S Forester is fun. My father read a lot of Forester and handed them down to me and my son when he was a teenager. It had been many years since I read the series and decided to start from the beginning and read them again. Have read # 1 and wasn't disappointed.

Begin with this one and follow Hornblower chronologically throughout his career. I have read the whole series more than once and loved it. Hornblower is a very appealing character--touchingly unsure of himself (while at the same time being tremendously capable on a ship); he is seasick at times and, if my memory serves me right, tone-deaf as well. The story has a way of drawing the reader right into the middle of the action.

Hornblower is said to be based on the life of Lord Nelson, though I do not know to what extent.
