Sea Epics

Though I hardly know how to swim, I am nevertheless fascinated by these epics of the sea:
  • Two Years Before the Mast, Richard Henry Dana Jr.
  • Moby Dick, Hermann Melville - none of the movie adaptations touch upon its strong biblical overtones
and the much inferior, but nonetheless interesting imitation of Moby Dick:
  • The Sea-Wolf, Jack London

Programming

  • The C Programming Language, Kernighan and Ritchie
  • Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)

  • The Tao-Te-Ching
