Another one worth reading is "Running the Amazon"  by John Kane;
In this one a journalist and a group of kayakers paddle the entire
length of the river from it's source at over 17,000' to where it flows
into the ocean.

Although it's not paddling related, "A Walk In The Woods" by Bill
Bryson is a highly entertaining read.  It chronicles a thru-hike on
the Appalachian trail.

A couple that I *want* to read are Audrey Sutherlands two books;
"Paddling Hawaii" and "Paddle My Own Canoe".
