I finished reading "Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies" today, and have thus finished the entire Hornblower series. It took me about a year of on-again off-again reading to get through the series, and may I say that it was completely worth it! What am I going to do now for my new Hornblower fix? HH seems to be one of those rare fandoms where there really isn't any fic that matches up to canon for me. That isn't to say that there aren't some really lovely authors out there who have come up with brilliant and insightful stories, but somehow none of them manage to give me that same feeling of excitement and curiosity that I get while reading the books. I will have to settle for rereads to satisfy me; of course, it has been a while since I've read the earlier ones, and it will be interesting to read them again in light of the later books. I suppose it is probably too much to hope for more Hornblower movies, but I really think they should consider making them because I know I would keep watching them.
