In Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, Dick Francis novels are mentioned as among the favourite reading material of swordfishermen; he posits that the books may appeal to their gambling instincts. "The books get passed around the fleet ... they've probably been to the Grand Banks more times than the men themselves."
