I’ll start by admitting that I am not, not have ever been, a prolific reader. That being said, I have a (what I believe to be) healthy family pride. My grandpa, a true Englishman in his own right, recommended to me that I read the Aubrey-Maturin Series by Patrick O’Brien. For in some parts reverence and in some parts familial pride, I recently finished my first “circumnavigation” of the Aubrey-Maturin series after a two year journey. I loved it all beyond measure.
I was completely engrossed. The series reignited my love for reading, and it has been hard to believe that the journey is over.
Therein lies my problem. I have tried to pick up different authors, of a similar style and a similar time period, but nothing scratches my itch for more of the same. I just absolutely loved reading these novels. It has been a source of strength for me, but now that it is over I haven’t been able to find anything that provides that same enjoyment as I did through my first dive into a long series.
What do you do when a series from an author you respect and admire is over?
I’d appreciate any input, and I think this topic is appliable beyond my individual problem. Best wishes to you all.
