But I placed them somewhere and now can't find.
Is that book called 'The search for the magnetic north'? Or something like that? I have a copy at home but it buried under motherboards at the moment.
'levay' might be the name of the writer (sp?)
It mentions cannabilism in the wild north a few times near the start of the book.



If its the book I'm thinking of, its one of the best books I have ever read. And its also just a condensed version of what he wrote, as his actual diarys were burnt when the shed they were in caught fire.

I will have another look tonight.
