A Note from the Author
- Dolphin Island, Arthur C Clarke - Novel - My favourite book as a young boy and I reread it every ten years or so.
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach - Novel - An inspiring book I fell in love with in my late teens.
- Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer - Nonfiction - Believe it or not the story of this disaster helped inspire my desire to climb mountains.
- The Book Thief, Markus Zusak - Novel - Who didn’t love this book? Believe it or not, when I first started it I put it down after a chapter or two and didn’t pick it up again for a year. When I did, I couldn’t put it down! Good lesson in how your frame of mind affects your taste.
- Shadow Divers, Robert Kurson - Nonfiction - I was already a diver when I read this and it blew me away. One of the pickles they got into influenced a scene in TMB.
- Wing Leader, Johnnie Johnson - Biography - I’m not big on heroes as we’re all human and placing people on pedestals tends to cause them to fall off at some point. But this guy was the real deal.
- Art of Racing in the Rain, Garth Stein - A great story told in a unique way. I could have put a bunch of racing biographies in this list but settled on this novel to represent my former career - although it has little to do with racing cars!
- Skinny Dip, Carl Hiaasen - Novel - Any of Hiaasen’s books are a wonderful escape filled with brilliant humour.
- The Few, Alex Kershaw - Non-Fiction - Fuelled my passion for the amazing feats performed in the Battle of Britain.
- She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb - Novel - I was deeply moved by this book. I didn’t like his follow-up at all!
- Run Silent, Run Deep, Edward L. Beach - Novel - A great story based on Beach’s own experiences in the submarines. Needless to say I’m a bit obsessed with WW2 diesel subs!
- Push, Tommy Caldwell - Autobiography - An inspiring story so well told. You don’t have to be a climber to enjoy this book.
