I am picking out books to take on our January 4th cruise on the Grand. Don'
t know if anyone else enjoys it, but I love sitting out on a deck chair
facing the open sea with a good book. Putting your feet up and watching the
ocean go by eases the stresses of life. When you combine that with a good
book, you get a double escape.

Does anyone have a book to recommend? I would like to recommend the books
of Richard Halliburton. He wrote simple stories of his travels, like the
"Royal Road to Romance." Nothing fancy, just interesting adventures. He
may not be in current print, but should be available at used book stores or
Amazon.com.

Totally agree with Richard Halliburton - read the Book of Wonders
while cruising the Athos Peninsula in Greece, which made it all the
more exciting. Then, we went to Kusadasi, which he writes so well on.
Best book ever while cruising the Eastern Med, was Captain Corelli's
Mandolin - wanted to jump off on every island...

how about "A Night To Remember" or maybe "Collision Course"... always
get me in the spirit to enjoy being at sea.

You dont give much info on what you like but I do have a favorite series
that is from a few years back.... The John McDonald Travis McGee
series... It is a 21 paperback series about casual life in warm weather
climates..... You can usually pick up all 21 books on ebay. I did and
after I read them all I sold them back on ebay.. I enjoyed the series.
Light reading..

Enjoy your trip

He got rather grisly for me - but very inventive in his deaths (not as bad
as Carl Hiaasen, who also does South Florida). I do keep looking for the
flash of green, and will never be surprised if I see the Busted Flush in a
marina someday.

There is a novel by Paul Gallico.

Hmm. That's like watching "Titanic" in the onboard theatre.

Or "The Only Way To Cross" by John Maxtone-Graham. Never fails to get
me in the cruise mood.
