Hi Linda, well I hope you enjoy it if you find it. (It's called To The Edge Of The World in the US for some reason). I wish I had the time to read like I did when I was younger. I couldn't tackle a series like those you mentioned right now, but hopefully I will at some point.

Appreciate the feedback. That's the way KZfaq was when it started. Thanks for the compliment on the video.

Ah Julie. You're very good. Thanks for letting me know. I'm delighted.

Ha. That's why I did it. There didn't seem to be one. Kind of surprised with a response from a 'fashion earrings' channel. But pleased too, thanks for the feedback.

@@sean_d I'm not a jewellery related channel. I just happen to have a fetish for earrings, books and other random things. :-)

Great Julie. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the rest. Could I make a suggestion regarding Douglas Reeman? Rendezvous South Atlantic is probably better than With Blood And Iron, I just couldn't find my copy when making the video.

Thanks Todd. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback Darklinger, I have been wondering was I too hard on Moby Dick.

Than you Deniz. It's a tiny channel so your comment means a lot. I don't read enough to do regular videos on books, more on history, but I do reference relevant books at the end. However if I keep this up I will occasionally do more book videos, maybe on some odd memoirs I've picked up or top ten non-fiction books. Hard to tell, I'm still just finding my way on Yoitube. Thanks again. Sean

Thanks for taking the time to comment Mohammed. I have always loved that story.

Good call, however it's not a novel. Thanks for the idea though, might do a Top 10 non-fiction nautical book list. Starting to think about it already...

P B thanks for commenting. This is a tiny channel so its nice to get feedback, appreciate it and hope you enjoy whatever you follow up. Sean

Cheers. Hope you like them.

Thanks for taking the trouble to comment. Appreciate it.

Thanks John. He wrote a couple of others from the German viewpoint, The Iron Pirate and The Last Raider (WW1).

@@sean_d HEY I HAVE A COUPLE OF THEM AND I'VE GOT SOME OF THEM ON AUDIBLE TOO

Iron Coffins is on my shelf waiting to be read. Maybe try a biography of Cochrane, on whom Jack Aubrey was based (in the Patrick OBrian novels).

I have read it. Thanks Caleb. If I do a Nautical Non-fiction list it will be considered. Saw the movie too, felt it lacked emotional punch. The book was fascinating.

Thanks Zayden. I have a couple of books about the Bounty, but not that one. I'll keep an eye out.

Cheers Dave. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Amazon just delivered Gone to Sea in a Bucket. Oboy!

@@davidwilburn6314 Well Dave, I hope you enjoy it, thanks for trusting me. Do let me know...

Really enjoying Sea in a Bucket. Very difficult not to read it all at once. I'm sure it would be more significant if I weren't aviation through and through, but I still love a great submarine adventure.

@@davidwilburn6314 Delighted (and relieved). Keep an eye out I am just finishing something on naval aviation, should be uploaded in the next few days. Must carry on that series myself..

Thanks for the feedback. That's a book I like so much I would dread seeing a film of it.

@@sean_d Yeah, I know there have been made for TV movies of it at the least. I haven't seen any yet, but I think KZfaq has 1 or 2 of them available here.

Hi Julie. Yes, but I don't know what I'd replace... I enjoyed Voyage although it had flaws. He was aiming for a novel that was like a nautical version of The Grapes of Wrath, a big social commentary on the way sailors were being used and abused as well as a tale of the voyage and the various characters. To that end he introduces a few shore-based characters, the owners, a couple of union organisers and a politician, and maybe tries to do too much. On a few rare occasions he is a little crude with the sex and violence, in a way people were in the 70s when boundaries were being pushed (and it is only a couple of times). Writing about the voyage itself he is in his element. I remember once he referred to "the long horizon", where a landlubber would probably have said 'the far horizon' and I thought there's a guy who has been to sea and knows what it is to scan the horizon. Of course having read his autobiography since I know how much of a sailor he really was. I recommend that too, called Wanderer, his stories of his youth criss-crossing America with a conman stepfather and long-suffering mother develop into an adolescent sailor, young actor, soldier, successful actor while all the time trying to get back to sea. The whole thing is set against a voyage where he breaks a court order to sail to Tahiti with his kids. Its a memoir of a well-intentioned but flawed individual told with admirable honesty. In short both books are well worth reading and I am glad I took the time to do so. I would also put Redburn on the list, but you know about that.

@@sean_d Thank you Sean for the thoughtful response. That autobiography sounds very interesting as well. I know of Redburn but haven't read it. I think that will definitely have to go to the top of my TBR. I just finished We, The Drowned and very much enjoyed it. Have you read it?

@@juliealvar4587 Have heard of that Julie but not read it.

Thanks Jim, you are the second person in a week to mention that book to me. I must make an effort to read it. Your channel looks interesting, I dont know that much about booktube, apart from Steve Donoghue, so your explanations will be helpful. Glad you liked the video. I must do some more on books.

@@sean_d Steve Donoghue led me to your channel. We, the Drowned was a Danish bestseller. BookTube is just a segment of KZfaq where people talk about books and bookish matters.

@@jimsbooksreadingandstuff Just the collaboration he did inspired by this video. Pretty pleased and humbled!

Thanks for the compliment Julie, you are very kind. Had no idea the title was changed in the US. I really hope you enjoy it (but I'm quite confident that you will.) Never heard of We The Drowned, I will check it out, looks interesting from a quick glance. Do look at the comments from Snarnok about Melville's Redburn, which I read on his recommendation and would be far up the list if I did it again.

@@sean_d Ooh thank for that Redburn recommendation. Definitely going on my TBR. -Julie

Maybe they retitled it to confuse it (in the reading public's mind lol) with Laurence Bergreen's bestseller "Over the Edge of the World," which is all about Magellan, and is worthy of a rereading, imo.

@@sterlingwalter5971 Cheers Sterling. I will track down a copy. I know it was a very eventful voyage.

@@sean_d my opinion of it was that it must have been written by a team of people, so much info contained in that volume. so I did a little research on the suthor, and he seems somewhat fraudulent, talking about the "space program" in one of his talks. when I reread it I intend to keep a sharper eye.

@user-zx9yy8le4u Yes indeed, and the film is high up my Top Ten Nautical Films list. I possibly have a slight prejudice against the book because of his very harsh remarks in the novel about Irish neutrality.

I did mention Moby Dick in the intro. Found it hard going, but thanks to one guy who left comments I went on to read Redburn and White Jacket by Melville and loved them.

Thanks for that. There's now a copy of Redburn on the way to me. Have The Golden Ocean but I haven't got around to reading it. Reckon I'll try another Alexander Fullerton next. Wish I'd discovered Blooding Of The Guns before I did this list. Thanks for checking out my channel and taking the time to comment.

@snarnok Two pages into Redburn and I'm hooked. Loving the language. For example 'Whiskerando' is a pretty cool word. Thanks again.

@@sean_d "Top Gallant Gaff Boots!" Also when Redburn describes the taste of his coffee. Herman Melville had a great sense of humour! I've read it twice and I would not mind reading it a third time.

@@snarnok Redburn after a near collision: "No doubt, many ships that are never heard of after leaving port meet their fate in this way. It may be that sometimes two vessels coming together, jib-boom-and-jib-boom, with a sudden shock in the middle watch of the night, mutually destroy each other; and like fighting elks, sink down into the ocean, with their antlers locked in death". This is great stuff...tempting me to try Moby Dick again...

@@sean_d A beautiful similie! Redburn is very underrated compared with Moby Dick. I think that people should read Redburn first before reading Moby Dick. I've actually read Moby Dick twice.

Thanks Ed. You might find them second-hand on abebooks.com for less than the cost of getting to the library. The Caine Mutiny I read years ago and it didn't stick with me. The Cruel Sea was a contender but upstaged by HMS Ulysses in my humble opinion, other wise it would have been there, despite the very bitter comments about Ireland's neutrality in one passage.

Well it would depend on what type of voyages, historical or modern, big vessel or small. Here's a list to start with waterbornemag.com/top-10-sailing-books/

Joseph I was unaware of this, have read Treasure of the Sierra Madre and enjoyed it. Just ordered a copy of The Death Ship. Many thanks.

Thanks Aaron. That was a first attempt. I was glad to get the image right way up. Really appreciate the compliment.

@@sean_d thank you for the recommendations! Helpful resource

Sounds fascinating. Thanks for the tip.

Well Jacob, I managed to do a few more. Cheers😁
