"Sailing Alone" was also good, but in a different way - I really liked the old guy's courage and "can do" attitude. Even the hardships were like jokes - he made a sail around the world sound like a trip to the corner store!

I am a recover TV addict. I am powerless over the draw of the TV. If I have a working TV I will watch it-- it is kind of like mental masterbation. At the center we have consciously not set up our TV so we only watch movies. THis is often to much for me too. I feel dirty afterwards, unless I can convience myself that it is quality TV--movies. Peace, Paul Hey thanks for supporting us here at the center. You rock. God Bless you on your atheist Lent. I am a recover TV addict. I am powerless over the draw of the TV.

I can't believe you read that many books in one month! In reference to Alexander Supertramp's careless adventures; what about train hopping, cliff jumping in freezing water and drunken spelunking?
