Based upon the thread linked above, which is a treasure trove of recommendations, I just finished "A Voyage For Madmen" by peter Nichols and Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around The World". Slocum's book is charming, a must read really, and an amazing achievement for a man who had only a third grade education. Voyage is a fascinating account that focuses on the 9 men who entered a race to circumnaviagte non stop. Very well written. On the fiction side it is hard to beat the Aubrey/Maturin books as I recently read The Far Side of the World.
