"Ship-Bored" by Julian Street All great literary works are born of suffering, they say. Well, this book is born from the suffering that comes along with sea sickness. Through research, Street is able to describe different remedies for this common ailment without falling into the trap of writing a dry and technical book. Written with a dose of humor that's refreshing for the topic, this book is an interesting read even for people who never set foot on a boat.
