Night Without End by Alastair MacLean - http://www.epinions.com/review/Alistair_Maclean_Night_Without_End_epi/content_451059748484

Reading this again after so long made me realise why I got addicted to his books back in my teen years!!

Sorry for the delay, took a while to get it added to the DB.

Well... (Reply to this comment)
by captaind
... at least I know what I'm going to enter now, but I'm in the process of reading it again (it was years ago and I can't remember enough to review it!). Thankfully I'm finding it every bit as good as when I first read it, probably close to two decades ago now...

I'd been planning to review this Shel Silverstein book today, and then I saw your write-off post.

http://www1.epinions.com/review/Giraffe_and_a_Half_by_Silverstein/content_447500095108 It's definitely an oldie!

Will do my best to find something for this, I'm sure it can't be too difficult! :-D

BTW - are you really sure you're "Reserrecting the oldies"?!?!?
