Another Great Day at Sea: Life Aboard the USS George H.W. Bush by Geoff Dyer

4.0

A funny book with stealth insights and profound observations on important topics. Chapter 38 is a prime example of the author's ability to balance humor of the scatological and self deprecating styles with thoughtful observations on his own life and our own common human examinations of everything from duty to religion to discipline and routine; the list goes on and on. Over all, this is a non-jingoistic tribute to those he observed for two weeks. His respect is palpable, not sugarcoated, for those who spend so much of their lives in a pressure cooker of long hours, doing their best to avoid the few mistakes that are so terribly unforgiving. I was especially delighted to have this book read to me by someone with a British accent. Couldn't have been better!
