(Reading preferences snipped)
I've long been partial to Joseph Conrad for sea-related literature.
But like many others, I've drifted away from the appreciative and
thoughtful sensibilities good literature demands. Well, perhaps not
from the sensibilities, but at least from the time and effort needed
to tune them properly.
There are many reading works I promise myself to return to, and yet it
doesn't happen.
First on my list is Richard Henry Dana's "Two Years Before the Mast,"
which is easily read, and totally engrossing.
For now though, I'm settling for the adventures of Bruce,
Peter......and Wilbur.
