Mostly I read the same book, Hugh Fosburgh's "The Sound of White Water" (see:   (You need to Login or Register ), year after year.  It's sort of become a tradition of sorts.  ALL of the pages have separated from the book's binding.  The danged thing's pages are kept (roughly) in order by housing it in a tightly fitted plastic baggie.  I wasn't sure how to classify the book for the survey; it's about nature & history & is kind of a trip report, too, but I ended up just calling it "fiction."   It is simply the best canoe trip type story I have ever read.

Sometimes I bring other books with me, too, including plant or animal identification manuals.  Those who paddle with me will testify that I pack all kinds of unnecessary crap on my typical canoe trip (canoe sail, anyone?... it's still up for sale, btw).  If you happen to run out of reading material, just paddle the camp with the tattered flamingo flag to see if what I have in my "library" is of interest to you.
