I have just heard Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey Maturin novels described as "The Novels Jane Austen would have written if she had written about her brothers in the Navy rather than her sisters."
This completely legitimizes my crossover of the two. I feel vindicated.
And in the mood to read my copy of M&C, which is currently at home. Curses.

Noooo! I know how you feel, friend - I went to pick up my copy of Northanger Abbey the other day and realised it was at home. On a shelf, somewhere. I'm too poor to actually buy books at the moment, and my collection of course books isn't exactly relaxing reading - spend TOO much time reading Moby Dick and you develop a nervous twitch.
