A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

DOCTOR AT SEA - Richard Gordon
The second installment in the "Doctor"series. Our hero signs on as ships surgeon in the merchant marine and travels to South America on a tramp steamer.
I enjoyed this more than the first book. This was interesting in how a tramp steamer functioned in pre-containerization days. The characters that make up a crew are equally fascinating.
Again no belly laughs but very amusing and interesting.
