Just started
Matterhorn by
Karl Marlantes. Nothing to do with the sea, but Vietnam.
So far i am finding it a pretty good read, although i need to brush up on my military hierarchies.
A review

Will let ya know how it goes.
Before that some good
Sci Fi by a British guy called
Peter F Hamilton.
His stuff is epic (i mean galaxy encompassing stuff) as well as long reads, with alot of his books going over 1000 pages... and trilogies at that
But i really do love getting into a great book and knowing there is a lot more good stuff to go.
