I've just finished "HMS Ulysses" for the second time. I'm waiting for the original version of that and "U-boat War" by Buchheim.
It will take some time before I get them so currently I'm reading anything written by Alistair MacLean that I can find at home (at the moment it's "Puppet on a chain" (in English), hopefully after I finish posting this I'll dig out "Ice station Zebra" and "48 hours" - these are my favourites), so I have lots of books for the next few weeks.

And one opinion: After reading "Puppet on a chain" I can say that originals are way better than translations. Gotta learn German as well.
