I finished this book this weekend, and was surprised how much I really liked it. If they only taught this type of history at school, maybe I'd be a better contributor at pub trivia now. The author set about to recreate Captain Cook's travels through painstaking research and quite a bit of travel, some of it very bizarre. The author mixed humor and facts well, and I'd gladly read other books by him. I've recommended this book to several other people. Also good for both the sailing lust and travel lust that I'm attempting to supress.

Holy crap, Meryl Streep makes an amazing Julia Child! I can't wait to see this movie... I loved Julia Child's memoir - so inspirational. She didn't even start cooking seriously until her late 30s and she failed plenty of times. Fabulous life.
