I happened to find it today during my lunch break and am reposting it here before it disappears again. I’d wanted to post it originally back at the end …

Is it me, or is David Weber’s Honor Harrington series contain a heavy dose of valium within its pages? I’m struggling to slog through the second book in the series, Honor of the Queen, after managing to successfully navigate On Basilisk Station.
