I liked the first Hornblower book. It seems that most of the stories they filmed were taken from this one so that was nice. Archie is very much a background character (and in fact doesn't even have a first name as I recall) and Pellew is less of a presence. So far no Bush but I'm hoping he'll be in the next one

Now I have a load of graphic novels to read, courtesy of Greg. First on the list is Fantastic Four: Unthinkable by Mark Waid. I quite liked the last FF book I read but I found it a bit boring. I've been told this one is a lot darker so I'm hoping that will make things a bit more interesting. We shall see
