Read books from "the > huge library", learn a language from a Rosetta Stone CD, go to a "British > pub"? Sjeesh. I have to agree with this. Truth is that even though this sounds plausible, passengers rarely can or will want to spend their time doing these kinds of things. A trip to the library to look around, sure, or to read. Learning a language? Hardly. I keep ten or fifteen books that I read through and when I cruise, select one and start-finish it. Have gotten through the Vidal series of historicals, Robert Pirsig's novels, a couple of others. Nothing more peaceful than a challenging author, a shady chair and a day at sea. > You shouldn't take Tom seriously. The day his mother > died a few months ago he posted over 70 pathetic messages. He's a nutcase.
