currently wading through the ninth book in Forester's Horatio Hornblower series. Read them all 50 years ago. No much for deep or meaningful thinking, but good reads anyway.

Thanks for the list, but does today's fiction become historical fiction after a certain amount of years?

For example, is War and Peace considered historical fiction, even though it was written around the time all that stuff was really happening in Russia?
