Erskine Childer's "The Riddle of the Sands" is a great thriller, and also an excellent book about sailing. The only problem with reading it on an e-reader is that you will want to be frequently referring to the maps that are at the beginning of the printed book. The Gutenberg version doesn't seem to have the maps. It's a pity that Childers was executed during the Irish Troubles; you have to think that he may have had a few more great books in him.
