Well, if you like the Aubrey/Maturin books, I would strongly recommend the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik, which I think at least one person has described as "Patrick O'Brian, with dragons!" She's up to 5 books now, with the first being "His Majesty's Dragon." Very entertaining take on the Napoleonic Wars, in which a British naval captain captures a French ship carrying an about-to-hatch dragon's egg, and how his life turns upside down from there.
