/lit/, please recommend some books about the sea. Not Moby Dick

Lord Jim
The Nigger of The Narcissus
The Old Man and The Sea

>>8836395
>The Old Man and The Sea
this.

>>8836405
Came here to say this, too

We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen

The Sound of Waves by Mishima is far from his best work but it's still aight.

Moby-Dick is super comfy

>comfier than Moby-Dick

No such book, kiddo.

>>8836390
Two years before the mast
The nigger of the narcissus

>>8836879
>>8836880
The truth

>>8836880
Moby Dick isn't comfy.

Fucking memers.

>>8836390
The Sound of Waves for easy entry level Mishima
The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea for edgy nationalist fun Mishima

The Sea-Wolf has some comfy parts.

Though it is mostly not comfy at all.

>>8836390
2 Years Before the Mast
In the Heart of the Sea
Typhoon

Patrick O'brian's stuff is good desu

>>8839106
agreed but only if you can get through all the complicated naval terms. Read his short stories too, not just Aubrey series

>>8836390
some of it takes place at sea and you'll probably never see it recommended and it's a short story so: The Man Without A Country by Edward Everett Hale

Alessandro Baricco - Ocean Sea

The Long ships is pretty comfy

>>8836390
The Tale by Joseph Conrad, it's a short story.

>>8839463
not a book but arguably of lit merit

Certainly not.

Verne is at the highest comfy level. At least all the one I have read.

The open boat

Haven't read it yet, but The Sea Around Us sounds comfy.

>>8836390
Master and commander

C.S. Forrester's Horatio Hornblower books are wonderful and extremely comfy.

Forrester created the template that Patrick O'Brien modified into his own thing, but Forrester did it better in the opinion of this humble reader and final arbiter of taste.

A good place to start is with Beat to Quarters, the first in the series Forrester wrote.

What are some good books about scuba diving or swimming? I've never read one and don't know if any exist that aren't airport tier.
