Bookmarks Magazine's 101 Tales of the Sea

If you are yearning for a tale about the open ocean, then you might find Bookmarks Magazine's 101 Crackerjack Sea books exactly what you need. And while you might think that Herman Melville's Moby Dick would be number one, it's not. That spot belongs to The Odyssey, by Homer. While many of the books are classics (Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea), there are some modern titles here, too (Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, Doug Stanton's In Harm's Way). So, whether you choose an old story or a new one, they all make for great reading about a subject that continues to fascinate people of all ages.
