You seem to be into lone German ships wandering around causing trouble, so if you can find copies you'll probably dig "The Emden" and "The Ayesha", the story of how SMS Emden ran all round the Indian Ocean in 1914, and the even more ridiculous journey home for her crew, as told by the ship's first officer Hellmuth von Mucke. You'll probably also enjoy Mimi & Toutou Go Forth, the story of one of the most thoroughly ridiculous affairs in the whole of military history.

(Then go read about Louis Barthas because everybody should read about Louis Barthas.)

I found both A Wizard of Earthsea and The Farthest Shore to just be the worst kind of bollock-achingly dull shite, but The Tombs of Atuan for some reason is the exact opposite and well worth slogging through the first book in order to get to.
