Eh, maybe he found the book on the edge of the beach, and didn't realize it wouldn't look like that if it'd actually washed up on shore?

I never thought he had the inhalers, and kept telling the people on my tv to tie him up and search his stuff before resorting to torture.

Stupid tv people never listen to common sense, though. ::grumps unattractively::

This would have been almost as good as please. I had a non- Lost -fan at my place yesterday, and she was literally yelling "stop!" Not working wonders for the headache I had at the time, let me tell you, but I was empathetic anyway.

The only possible fanwank I can figure for that book is that it was new, in a pouch, that happened to be waterproof.

Definitely. Going back to the analogous-roles discussion, it seems like Sun is being edged toward a wise-woman, wiccan-empowered, let-us-now-investigate-male/female-issues spot. Tara, with an accent.

Haven't spotted Willow, yet.

I want his backstory to include someone giving him the book in a ziplock "to keep sand out at the beach."

Oh! it could be their mom, and he and Shannon both roll their eyes and say [ETA: something along the lines of] "Oh mom!" and he is shown tossing it in the suitcase.
