Om mig Nerdy, 20-year-old college sophomore from New Jersey with distinctly Gothic sensibilities and piratical sympathies. In my head, I am in elementary school still. Sometimes. I accumulate books faster than I can read them; it's becoming a compulsion. When I'm not reading I enjoy watching movies, writing, painting things black, listening to classic rock and metal, experimental bartending, going to playgrounds at night once all the actual children leave, and wandering around town with my friends looking for something interesting to do, often resulting in some sort of ill-advised baking project.
Also, I am awesome. Thank you.
Om mit bibliotek I like history books, and particularly like medieval history, piratical history, and the history of English. I obsessively collect language-learning materials for languages I will never learn to speak well and books in foreign languages I will never be able to read in a decent amount of time. I keep children's books around for a really long time. I'm not very big on realistic fiction; I want DRAMA. And comedy, and magic, and swashbuckling sea adventures. So that's what I buy. I like "classics," whatever that means. I like fantasy and fairy tales. I like historical fiction. I like girl's adventure fiction. I like it when at least two of those last three categories overelap. I like satire. I'm very much getting into cute little hardcover books of ridiculously macabre children's stories with accompanying demented line drawings. I love that that's an entire genre. Then there's stuff other people give me, which falls roughly under the same parameters, usually, but not always. A number of my favorite authors were my favorite authors when I was nine. The rest are British. Oscar Wilde is God.

I hear there's a fifth one coming out this summer. I'm so excited!

But I've been of a rather silly bent recently.
I very much like the Jolly Roger idea as it is immediately recognizable as pirate-y goodness even by those who can't quite place the Hispaniola right off (sad, but a fact of life).

The Bloody Jack adventures are great fun, though I sometimes get frustrated with the obvious maleness of the author. He simply has no grasp of girls at times. Nonetheless, I'm still extraordinarily excited about the fifth in the series coming out later this year. YAY! Let me know what you think if you read them.
Currently I'm in the midst of the Horatio Hornblower series. I can't really deal with the main character's moaning about a stiff upper lip and all that, but the swashbuckling is fantastic. Plus I love Ioan Gryffudd in the A&E pics.
Clearly there should be more pirate biopics. I mean, who WOULDN'T want to watch something about Captain Kidd? Blackbeard? Jean Lafitte ( I adore Jean Lafitte). OOH and Calico Jack and Anne Bonny, etc. would make a GREAT Hollywood movie. So many possibilities...
We need to take over Hollywood...

What are your favorites when it comes to swashbuckling? I'm always on the look-out for something new...
