At the risk of starting something that takes a long time to finish: Master and Commander by Patrick O’Brian. It’s the story of England at sea, 1812, pretty faithfully recreated. O’Brian wrote 21 (or so) sequels. Usually I tire of an author after a few novels but his command of both the English language and character kept me hooked to the end.
