Have an upcoming trip and would appreciate any suggestions for airport reading. If you can find it - "Kayak Full of Ghosts" by Lawrence Millman. It is out of print but can often be found through Amazon.com or on eBay. It is a collection of Inuit tales, some as short as a few paragraphs and none longer than a few pages. Easy airport reading except that people will look at you when you laugh out loud at stories about the man whose penis hung down to his knees or the voice in the shitpile or the guy who got all the girls by impressing them with his ability to shoot narwals in a really unusual manner. There are also a lot of non-sexual/scatalogical stories. They give a really good impression of what life must have been like for the first kayakers. I had to buy a bunch as gifts because everyone I loaned the book to refused to return it.
