1 comments about Seven Leagues to Paradise.
- Tregaskis was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
After I graduated from college in May, 1971, Oberlin College,
A.B., then spent some time at Vanderbilt. In 1972 I hung out
as a hippie on Mt. Adams in Cincinnati, then my father
got me another job working for my uncle at MacPerth Knitwear
downtown Cincinnati... then another job in Elizabeth
working for Wilson Freight Company loading and unloading
trucks. I was in Elizabeth the Fall of 1972. I drove
a tow motor, what they called fork lifts.. Cardboard
drums of yellow cake came through there and telephone exchange
mainframes.. One of the truck berths was to Montauk.
I came home to Cincinnati in December of 72 then worked
as a dishwasher for 10 days before Christmas at Frisch's.
Then started back at University of Cincinnati in math
and biology. I had a breakdown and went to Enoch Sheppard
Pratt Hospital in Baltimore for 8 months, while in the hospital
earning a real estate license. I left the hospital to
sell real estate, working for Professional Real Estate
and Coldwell Banker Grempler... while working for Grempler
I was also working in a bacteriophage genetics lab at
Johns Hopkins.. I left Baltimore in the spring of '75 to
take the Big Trip, seeing the country. I ended up in
San Francisco and was hospitalized twice. The second
time, I was there at Napa for 3 months... A young man
on the ward's locker was filled with books. I bought two
of them for 10 dollars. One was an entire book on
Ohm's law, or electronics.. The other, Seven Leagues.
My father picked me up and we flew back to Cincinnati.
After a month home I took the Navy officer's test, a math
test, getting 58/60 where 60 was passing.
Next year I took a year of electronics at Ohio College
of Applied Science - Ohio Mechanic's Institute.
Seven Leagues is the frustration Tregaskis feels, discontents
where ever he lived even finally home.

2 comments about Black College Nightmare (Black College Lamentations).
- This is a brilliant book and wonderfully well written. It reminded me of Noire, Zane or Dickey. It has great erotica scenes and liasons. I'd highly recommend.

- I enjoyed Zane, Noire and Eric Jerome Dickey Novels and this guy is no exception. I challenge anyone to take more than a glance here is pick up a copy of this book. I first found him on the shelf, and I've loved him since. Thanks!

1 comments about The Alpha Boats Odyssey.
- I personally know the author, which is why I bought this book. Knowing several of the people involved colors my review.
Overall this was a good book, worth reading. It suffers from being nonfiction. The plot is simple, take a couple boats across the Atlantic. You can't make up pirate attacks just to make it more exciting (there was a slight worry one could happen but it didn't because they were smart enough not to go to areas where it could happen). A lot of time had to be skipped (got up, brushed my teeth, breakfast type of thing), but the transitions between the times when anything happened were a little abrupt.
Overall though I enjoyed it. I think you will too.
Note, if you are into airplanes you should definitely read this book. The author started/ran several airlines in his life. While just a side item, the historical Aviation details are much better done than the boat trip itself. An Aviation nut must not miss reading this book.
