Try Peter Freuchen's "Adventures in the Arctic" Rick. I don't know if it's still in print but it's a good one where you will be carried off to Greenland in the twenties and thirties with the one-legged Danish explorer. He was a pretty funny man and makes crossing the ice cap sound like a party. It's true story, or at least as true as the old pirate could make it to be.
I'm with you on giving the old books a re-read.
