Dudley Pope's Ned Yorke series is all about Pirates. Nice ones with morals! Eh, you can have too much of "gritty" sometimes. The first one in the series is "Buccaneer".
"Captain Blood" by Rafael Sabatini is the classic pirate-with-a-heart-of-gold story, and is available in the MobileRead library. One of my all-time favourite books.
George MacDonald Fraser wrote a book called "The Pyrates". It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember it made me laugh... I was about 15, though.
