- Somewhat unrelated - for those who don't know Alistair MacLean[1] was a novelist, mostly war thrillers, adventures. My grandpa - a voracious reader and a retired judge spent most of his retirement reading and walking, he turned me on to Alistair MacLean by describing his experience of reading Ice Station Zebra (based on the north pole) as if "you feel the chill in your bones as you read it". So I read that, and ever sing book Alistair MacLean has authored. These were the first novels I read in English. After going through entire works of Alistair MacLean, I went through pretty much any other book I can get my hands on. And the _best_ part was finishing something, going downstairs to grandpa's room and telling him, his response was almost always - "oh yes, I read that in 19XX, love the character X doing something with Y".
Reading the title of the post was a pang of nostalgia, I can still remember him telling me about Ice Station Zebra, Night Without End, Where Eagles Dare, Guns of Navarone, Force 10 from Navarone. I miss him.
