#34, A Night to Remember, by Walter Lord

This classic about the sinking of the Titanic lives up to its reputation.  I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information, or whether subsequent scholarship has made this book outdated, but it is a fascinating story.  I kept thinking, "If only they had hit the iceberg head-on.  If only the Californian had responded.  If only some of the half-filled life-boats had returned a little sooner.  If only..."  A well-told story of a tragic night.
