The Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Not surprisingly this made it to the big screen, although the book does the story a lot more justice. The tale is full of adventure and will open up your eyes to the magic of the sea and the creatures that live beneath it. While it might put you off travelling by boat, it will certainly keep you enthralled right through to the very end.
