To each his own I guess. I found The Bedford Incident book tedious, the ending ridiculous and do not think that the narrative has aged at all well. As for Run Silent Run Deep the book is certainly an excellent read and has aged remarkably well but the movie screenplay is somewhat different than the book it is almost as if they are two different stories. Perhaps it is telling that Ned Beach contributed to the film of his book but Mark Rascovich is conspicuously absent from the Richard Widmark movie.
For what it's worth, both titles also live in my library.
