@GabriellaSaab_ looking forward to reading your book ‘The Last Checkmate.’ Fascinated by books with chess themes( love chess but not a very good player!), intrigued by poets/writers who played like Nabokov and Melville.

@PSLiterary I wish I could find this book I was mesmerized with in elementary school, it was a picture book on Manfred von Richthofen, (The Red Baron) it was probably printed in the late 60’s, early 70’s. One pic that stands out is all the loving cups he had made of his aerial victories.

@ClintonGodart @alessionaval @Andrew_Levidis @jeremyyellen This is indeed fascinating, I wonder too how the devout Catholic naval officer Shinjiro Yamamoto interacted with Buddhist/Shinto officers in the Navy and did his beliefs hamper his career?

@Wrap10 @anne_camozzi One of my favorite books, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C S Lewis. Got the Japanese edition in NYC last year.

@JohnGMSharp1 That would be fascinating to know what became of them, am really enjoying‘Knights of the Sea’ by David Hanna currently.

@LMWoolsey @ae_stallings So very true; my own beloved South is known for its emphasis on manners, honor, hospitality and chivalry but also embraced slavery and segregation. I believe Herman Melville said it best in ‘Moby Dick’…‘it’s a wicked world in all meridians.’

@GhoshAmitav Just finished reading ‘Jungle Nama’ this morning with a good cup of coffee. Beautiful story in verse, I hope this will not be your last foray into poetry! It brought back memories of ‘Hungry Tide’ and ‘Gun Island.’ I liked the imagery of the bees loading the ships!

@Karen_E_Bender @skirkwalsh My favorite of his shorter works is ‘The Encantadas’, a great set of stories set in the Galapagos. I just read a short story by Nabokov( a fellow Melville admirer) ‘The Aurelian’, very good.
