On a completely different matter, this book looks interesting - after all, Nelson's navy was all about rum, sodomy and the lash...

Stop reccing insanely expensive books.

I mean it ;) *drools*

Do you know "Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition"? That's not bad either.

Yes, I've read that one - as well as "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash - Piracy, Sexuality and Masculine Identity" by Hans Turley, which is also interesting in places, if not exactly the easiest book to read.

And no, I will not stop. But maybe I will rec a book that isn't insanely expensive. Have you read "Swordspoint - a Melodrama of Manners" by Ellen Kushner? It's quite good fantasy, starring a pair of male lovers amidst plenty of swordfights and political intrigue in a world that seems like something around 17th or 18th century. And it's good :-)

No, I hadn't even heard of it. It sounds intriguing. Thanks!
