mitiempo will become famous soon enough
one of my favorites is "Song of the Sirens" by Ernest K. Gann, a biographical book about the boats he owned, including the square rigged Albatross, later made famous in the movie "White Squall"
Anything by the late Hal Roth, an opinionated sailor and good writer.
Anything by Larry & Lin Pardey - there are many
Chichester's books, as well as Robin Knox-Johnson's books (winner of the 1st solo around the world non-stop race)
Moitessier's "The Long Way"
