Veeky Forums, please recommend some books about the sea. Not Moby Dick tier, something comfier and shorter...

Moby Dick isn't comfy.

Fucking memers.

The Sound of Waves for easy entry level Mishima
The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea for edgy nationalist fun Mishima

The Sea-Wolf has some comfy parts.

Though it is mostly not comfy at all.

2 Years Before the Mast
In the Heart of the Sea
Typhoon

Do books get comfier or more sea-related than this?

the rime of the ancient mariner

Reading it right now. It's the comfiest thing I've ever read.

Literally reading this now, best seafaring book imo.

why was doré the most perfect illustrator

The Sea, The Sea.

>reading wiminz trying to understand a man's psyche

This

>shitposting this bad

I wish you would drown in The Sea.

Far Tortuga

>he never read the magic mountain

senpai...

Gipsy Moth Circles the World
Fastnet Force Ten
The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst

my diary, desu

The Sea Inside by Phillip Hoare

Sailing alone around the world. Joshua Slocum was a badass. Also he killed himself so he is Veeky Forums

...

Patrick O'brian's stuff is good desu

agreed but only if you can get through all the complicated naval terms. Read his short stories too, not just Aubrey series

some of it takes place at sea and you'll probably never see it recommended and it's a short story so: The Man Without A Country by Edward Everett Hale

Alessandro Baricco - Ocean Sea

The Long ships is pretty comfy

The Tale by Joseph Conrad, it's a short story.

not a book but arguably of lit merit

whoops didn't mean to reply to you

Certainly not.

Verne is at the highest comfy level. At least all the one I have read.

The open boat

Haven't read it yet, but The Sea Around Us sounds comfy.

Master and commander

Surprised it took this long to be mentioned

GOAT series

Damn that's the one I just started to try to get into Mishima

What technique does he use for his drawings? I've seen illustrations in the same style but nothing real modern that closely resembles his work

here to make sure that OP reads it

also i havent read The Waves yet but maybe that lol

C.S. Forrester's Horatio Hornblower books are wonderful and extremely comfy.

Forrester created the template that Patrick O'Brien modified into his own thing, but Forrester did it better in the opinion of this humble reader and final arbiter of taste.

A good place to start is with Beat to Quarters, the first in the series Forrester wrote.

What are some good books about scuba diving or swimming? I've never read one and don't know if any exist that aren't airport tier.

OP here. I made this thread, went to sleep, a day passed and now that I'm browsing again I found all the interesting recommendations you made. Thank you, Veeky Forums.

it's right at the top of the fucking wiki you idiot

>The Nigger of The Narcissus
FUCKING RACIST BIGOT. HOW COULD YOU EVER SUGGEST THIS?

The Sound of Waves

It's amazing, don't worry.

You read pic related's "The Silent World"?

Really good
