A double feature of Moby Dick - Herman Melville and In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex - Nathaniel Philbrick.

That should keep you busy for awhile.

Definitely has the vibe of the original Princess Bride. I might have to look around for an abridged version.

Busy maybe, but will the be entertained.

I read Moby Dick once and it was not enjoyable in the least. It is boring as fuck. Maybe it's imitating through prose the long monotonous stretches between whale sightings, but that's not an engaging read.
