23. Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Finished 5/8. (366)
Borrowed this from Tod to read on the flight home. Very, very solid character writing.
24. Mary's Voyage, by Mary Caldwell. Finished 5/11. (259)
Mixed feelings about this one. She portrays the ocean crossing as violent and stormy, but she also seems to have been seasick the entire time. For six years. Unreliable reminiscences.
25. Nautical Emergencies, by Tony Meisel. Finished 5/17. (142)
Good little handbook of very important details. How to deal with a dismasting in particular.
Total to date: 9555 pages (Av: 69.7/day)
