I spent most of Sunday watching re-runs of No Reservations. I actually have the book as well. I'm looking for books that are kind of like the TV show...travel and travel related, and just plain interesting. It's not a genre I really read so I'm not even sure where to begin.
I would be a nice change from all the war and history-type books I usually read. Bonus if it's somehow ocean themed, especially diving or surfing, although sailing would be ok too. But it doesn't have to be ocean-themed.
Anyway, have at it Grogs.
