Audiobooks for when I'm driving or mowing (none of that for a few months).
Ebooks for my Kindle.
Beer for my horses. Oh, wait, I think I'm mixing metaphors, or something . . .
I recently listened to
Mutiny of the Elsinore by Jack London and really enjoyed the story; Jack London writes a good adventure tale. Tom Crawford was the reader and took a little getting used to as a reader.
Currently listening to
White Jacket, or The World in a Man-of-War by Herman Melville and read by James K. White. Very interesting story with a bit of 'tongue in cheek' thrown in. Mr. White is very easy to listen to.
One of many books going between my Kindle, Kindle on my Android Phone and Kindle or Aldiko on my Android Tablet, is
Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain. A classic author with a style of his own and another good read.
I've also read
Omoo and
Typee Herman Melville. Good South Sea Tales.
So, while SciFi has pretty much been my mainstay since I was nine years old, I'm really enjoying some of these old sea tales. Plus, I'm learning some new words that I might be able to use in Words With Friends or Hanging With Friends. (Got my wife with, "TRICED").
Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana might be coming up on the list . . . any other good sea tale adventures to recommend?
Cheers!
