2. Beautiful Swimmers: Watermen, Crabs and the Chesapeake Bay by William W. Warner. Pulitzer prize winner in 1977. As Mary Poppins said, 'perfect in every way.' Highly recommend!

How many hours a week do you folks spend reading to read that many books? I'm happy with my single digit number of books but I don't get to spend much time to read.
