Priscilla II 392 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Ahh, a bit of Kurt Vonnegut is not a bad thing to be reading stretched out in the cockpit or tucked up in your bunk. Did a Graham Green revisit a while ago. Damned good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 The entire Jack Reacher series. As long as you can keep the ridiculousness of Tom Cruise playing the part in the two movies out of your head while you read.The entire Andy McNabb series of work. He has both Fiction and non Fiction, although the Fiction is based heavily on his SAS days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
