Finished my horror-history of the doomed Franklin expedition(The Terror, Dan Simmons)--had nightmares all night. An excellent book, though. Perhaps just a little tad bit too vivid for an old woman.
@Rithrandril: There's a part in this novel at one of the (many) formal burial services for the British sailors where the Captain throws away the Bible and instead chooses to give the sermon from Hobbes' Leviathon, the" human life is brutal, short etc" part--very effective.
