What Should We Read?
Friends, family, loved ones and internet browsers: can you help us stock our library for the next year or so? I’m a voracious reader, and about to have some serious time to consume lots of written words while floating the seas. Rob, too.
Unfortunately, I feel lost and adrift while browsing Amazon, paralyzed by the endless choices. So, this is a call for recommendations. Leave us a comment below or drop us a line to share:
– your favorite book of all time
– a well-loved classic (which are free to download from the Gutenberg Project)
– a good read we shouldn’t miss
– something you simply couldn’t put down
The last book I read was Blue Latitudes, about Captain Cook’s expeditions to the islands we’ll be visiting. But, generally, I’m way more of a fiction girl, as you’ll see from the list of our favorite reads to the left (scroll down a bit in the sidebar). For instance, this Christopher Moore book made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants, which is often something I look for in a book.
My goal is to stock the Kindle this weekend, and then keep a go-to list of books we can add as we travel. Mystery, romance, comedy, drama, history, intrique. We want to take it all with us. And, if you happen to read something spectacular a few months from now, toss the title in the comments below and we’ll have a special treat waiting for us at the next port!
Thanks for your advice, and the gift of good books. Can’t wait to hear from you.
