What are you reading right now?

"Caine's mutiny" by Wouk now on my bedside table.
I once saw the movie, but all what I remembered until now was a strange captain who often played with a pair of stell balls. The book is better, as often happens.

Just finished past days "The Diary of a U-boat Commander", a classic on WWI.
I had it as e-book, english version, by a friend of this community.
As I unterstand, it's a shareware version (little donation asked by the editor)
Maybe Subsim could host a copy for download, if not already doing that.

An absolute classic! Lt. Cmdr. Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) not only playing with his steel balls, but proving with absolute precision just what did happen to his strawberries. I've not read the book but I must hunt the movie down to watch again.

"Broadsides: The Age of Fighting Sail, 1775-1815"

Not submarines, but still fighting at sea
