Just finished reading all 20 books in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series back to back. What to do now?

Funny isn't it. We went on holiday about 20 years ago and I packed a lot of books to read. At the last minute I threw in a bargain-bookshop omnibus of Hornblower stories that would do if I finished all the others, but I wasn't that enthusiastic about it as I'd tried reading one when I was much younger. When I finally got to the Hornblower omnibus, I was totally hooked. I read it even though the pages were scrambled. I burned through the Hormblower books thereafter and then started the Aubrey/Maturin series. I read about one of those a year, stringing them out.

Why do Peco include flat blade round head non magnetic screws with their pointmotors? They are so difficult to use under baseboards. compared to magnetic positronic screws.

Disappointed to spot a copy of Robert Plant's 1988 album "Now and Zen" in a recent episode of Endeavour, supposedly set in 1969. Do ITV take us for fools?
