Any of Moitessier's books. 'Sailing to the Reefs' is an excellent story of cruising in a long gone era. The 'Long Way' and 'Cape Horn' are the best books to capture the magic of actually being at sea on long passages. 'Tamata and the Alliance' is a bit preachy but an interesting look at Colonial IndoChina. Moitessier was a bit of a nut, you'd have to be do what he did, but a very good writer.
