Hunt for Red October was such a good book -- I've read it many times, and God willing, will read it at least a few more times in the years to come. Novels are like works of art -- when you get a painting, you don't just look at it once and put it away, instead you admire it repeatedly. Same thing with a good book. Reading it only once is like only looking at a fine painting once!
Yep the Pampanito is a great exhibit; as well as the Jeremiah O’Brian (Liberty ship).
