    Adrien de Gerlache thought why shouldn't a Belgian be the first the magnetic South Pole? The ship gets locked in ice. It's not going well.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    All of these sound like books I’ll enjoy. Thanks for pointing me in their direction.

    I’m in the middle of this (the English translation) and I’m enjoying it thoroughly. Binet’s repeated breaking of the “fourth wall” and commenting on his own story reminds me of Kundera.

    Just started this! I love old sci-fi that ends up being a cautionary tale.

    Holiday trip paperback reading, adventure novel by Grey Nato editor and diving enthusiast Jason Heaton.

    Spending time on a ferry sundeck, quite sunny and warm so far out at sea.

    I just finished this one. Didn't like it as much as Blacktop Wasteland. The gay angle seemed a little heavy handed at times but maybe that was on purpose. I could see the mastermind and the Tangerine storyline coming a mile away.
