Easy
Steps to becoming |
|
a
Big Time Tristan Jones Fan
|
This
was my approach and it worked just fine for me. Others may
have had a different experience. If so, I would love to hear
about how you became a Tristan Jones fan. Leave your account
in our guestbook or bulletin board so that others may share in your
personal approach.
|
|
| Step
1: |
Start
by reading The Incredible Voyage.
This will start your addiction. (Don't worry -- it's a good
thing.) You will be left longing for another adventure and a
need to know more about the man. Also, what happens to his boat Sea
Dart!
|
| Step
2: |
If
at this point you need another immediate adventure fix then read ICE!
If you can hold off and want to find out what happens next, read Adrift.
Either way, you will now be hooked and the voyage is just beginning!
|
| Step
3: |
After
reading ICE! and Adrift,
I would recommend Saga of a Wayward Sailor.
This will give you a more rounded view of Tristan Jones and you will
really want to know more about him. How did this man come to
his way of life? The answers are found in the next step!
|
| Step
4: |
OK.
Now that you are a budding Tristan Jones fan, and you have told all
your friends how they too need to read his books, you need a better
understanding of his background. Read A
Steady Trade to learn about his youth. Then read Heart
of Oak to learn about his transition into manhood during WWII.
|
| Step
5: |
Now
you're ready for the final step of fanaticism. Read the three
book trilogy Outward Leg, The
Improbable Voyage, and Somewheres East
of Suez for Tristan Jones' round the world adventure. You
are now truly hooked -- join the club. |
