Randomguy Posted June 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2015 So I just finished the second season of 'Black Sails', and it was really good, and I am thinking to myself "I might like to read a pirate book". I guess if I typed it here, I am not just thinking it to myself anymore, but that is just a technicality.Have you read a good pirate book (or something similar) that you can recommend?

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted June 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2015 No, but Heavy Seas makes good pirate beer. Captain Morgan was a pirate and he sells pirate rum. That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted June 15, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2015 I liked the Horatio Hornblower books. Not necessarily pirate books, but they do deal with sailing ships back in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted June 15, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 15, 2015 Under the Black Flag and Defoe's General History of the Pyrates. There are also some pretty good histories of the Spanish Main. The whole colonization of the New World was a vast criminal enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share #15 Posted June 16, 2015 I have gone and gotten the Kindle versions of 'The Red Rover' and 'Treasure Island', because they were recommended, and free. Btw, I have read the Micheal Crichton pirate book a while back, and remember that it was very good, very much in the style of his other books if you like his writing.

onbike1939 Posted June 16, 2015 Share #18 Posted June 16, 2015 It's been a shock to my system and now I'm laying down for a bit.To be accused of being Irish when you've just been instrumental in securing a huge victory for the Scottish National Party.....it's too much and I'm an old person.You boys should be more careful with your simple-minded but good-natured joshing......we sophisticated individuals are indeed sensitive and I could be easily damaged by such behaviour. Not that I'm a big girl's blouse you understand but I know you'd feel terrible if something bad happened and you'd never forgive yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
