She recently read a book I lent her called "The Last Dive," by Bernie Chowdbury. She loved it.

One need not have any familiarity with scuba diving to read it. It is fascinating because of the history of the U=boat involved, the story of the divers...Just a great book. Certainly takes one out of oneself.

I had read it before, and it is very gripping. True story that is difficult to put down. Super cheap on Amazon, or no doubt available in your local library.
