You definitely should. I actually got to meet him at an event and he was hilarious. It's a fun book.

Loooooved that one. Made me want to read Moby Dick too, but I still haven't gotten around to it. If you liked that you should read "In Harm's Way" by Doug(?) Stanton. It's about the sinking of the USS Indianopolis (the one Quint talks about in Jaws). Riveting book.
