An adventure story I can still remember reading vividly even now, due to being horribly sick at the time. It was the only book within reach on my bed, and the only times I made it out of bed were to throw up copiously. Read for a bit, feel sick, try and sleep, be delirious, read some more. The torment suffered on the boat I could certainly relate to at the time! Not ever likely to read it again because of this.
