[Mercat]

I don't worry too much about the technical bits. I have a friend who never got past Master and Commander because she kept flipping to the front and trying to visualize the changing of the sails each time they tacked. It's the language for all love. I want to talk like they do with the blessing.

If you love the language in the series, I highly recommend the recorded books audio version narrated by Patrick Tull. I'd read the whole series, but listening to Tull's performance took the experience to another level. If you love the books, take a listen. Our local library had them, otherwise they can be expensive to rent. But Tull gives one of the most extraordinary readings you will ever hear.
