Summer Reading

Tillerman had a great idea. He has a lot of them actually. Write a  review about something. As it's the summer, I thought you might enjoy some ideas on Summer Reading. These are all past posts. Here goes: A review of three great books on long passages, two solo - A World of My Own by RKJ, The Last Man Across the Atlantic by Paul Heiney and Theo Dorgan's Sailing for Home. I also reviewed, Round the Baltic with Bobby Griff Rhys-Jones a great travelogue on crusing the Baltic Sea. If you like mega-yachts, check out, Mine's Bigger by David Kaplan about Maltese Falcon. . Peter McGrath did an excellent review on Brion Toss', Rigging Handbook. Now that's what I call beach-reading. And last but not least my all-time favorite sailing book A Voyage For Madmen by Peter Nichols.
