Dear Katy, I was wondering if Simon has read the book Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing? It's the true story of sailors who managed to survive a year on the Antarctic seas. I recently read this book, and some of the author's descriptions of the harsh sea conditions reminded me of the footage from Drum's trip around the tip of South America. Also, would Simon consider submitting a "book list" of his most recent favorites for the website? Thanks, Pam

" I most certainly did read Endurance. I will try and work on a booklist for you all. whoosh s "
