Arrr, matey, 'tis Talk Like a Pirate Day! I thought today would be a good day to talk about the books we pirates like to read*. Post about yer favorite pirate books today. Any pirate who doesn't is banished to the galley for kitchen duty. Arrr!
*All assuming ye be a pirate with education!
Uh, well, how about Redwall? 
I haven't read it yet, but Isle of Swords is in the mail on its way to my eager hands!
To update my last post, Isle of Swords has arrived! I spent the last four hours or so reading it while listening to my new Prince Caspian soundtrack. Both were excellent, the soundtrack in particular. Now I'm even more eager to see the movie again!
I be likin' "Mariel of Redwall", it had sim mighty fine piratein' goin' on thar. (Oh, I'm awful at this!)
Mom found a site where you out type in your name and it would come up with a silly title like, I was Captain (make a note of that, captain) *real name here* Curlyeye, the scurviest soul to ever play a harmonica alongthe British Isles." Not word-for-word, but interesting all the same. Once time I had Red Knickers and Had a Hamster.
Isle of Swords was ok, but sometimes it sounded like he was trying to write a pirate adventure and it turned out sounding fobbish. But the villain rocked and all the flogging scenes as well *evil chuckle* and the overall plot, tho' slightly copied from PotC, was intruiging, rother.
Banished to the kitchen... (what horror!)
And today (the 20th) is Talk Like A Aussie Day (proclaimed by a friend of mine). The only Aussie book I can think of is The Book Thief. Shine: Make 'Em Wonder What You've Got prolly doesn't count...
[/offtopic]I can't think of any pirate books. Except The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has Pug and his gang...
OK, tomorrow is talk like a Brit day! I'm sure we'll have fun wi. that...
Jordan, could this thread be for "talk (or act) like a whatever", so folks could find books set in different places? We could take turns declaring the genre.
Banished to the kitchen? Who? And why??!!

Alrighty, go for it! Actually, yesterday was Talk Like a Ninja Day, so you had to be silent...
*grumbles* How's one supposed to talk like a ninja? Books of that genre that come to mind, uh...The Samurai's Tale and mebbe The Master Puppeteer; I didn't read all of that book so mebbe it had ninjas later on! 
wow, you guys are crazy
Such is the idea, m'dear!
silence-I like talk like a ninja day!-silence
How about Talk Like a Scot Day? I love talking like a Scottish Heelander. Ye can read Kidnapped, David Balfour, (I'm in the middle of reading this one out loud. Ye catch muir o' the humor that way.), Duncan's War, Scottish Chiefs, and there's probably muir I've fergotten.
After I finished reading Kidnapped out loud, I found meself thinking in a Scottish accent.
And there's Rakkety Tam as well!
