Have started Hornblower and the Atropos. Not as good as the previous two so far (Forester's writing seems to struggle a bit when not focusing on naval action), but it's still early.
After I finish that one, I'm taking a break from the HH series to read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Haven't read pure fantasy in a little while now (a few months at least), and a couple of my friends have roundly praised the book, so I'm looking forward to getting into it!
Yeah, it might be worth trying it again then, now that you're older. I suspect most of us are unable to fully appreciate it at that age (I know I would've been!), so perhaps it's time to give it another go.
