Danny and the Boys by Robert Traver for me and it will finish it for the untold time, still brings plenty to chuckle over though.

I just finished reading the Traver Award selections in FR&R and one of the submissions involved bamboo. For some strange reason, they didn't seem to
be so dark and morose this year. It has always amazed me that the yearly Traver Award selections are so unlike Traver - apparently you can no longer write a
fishing story with characters who don't have a lot of deep dark personal problems.

Adventures of a Deep Sea Angler, by Romer Gray
Not quite the writer his brother was, Romer nevertheless paints a pretty dam' good image of what really were adventures. Adding to the whole experience for me is the fact that Cathie and I have some of the original photos, not just copies, used in several of Zane's books. Tales of Southern Rivers is next. |

Been taking turns reading these three:
On The Road, by Jack Kerouac ~ a historical and socially significant read about a dark, restless post-WW2 sort whose wanderings become a prelude to 1960's counter-culture movement Native Trout of Western North America, by Robert Behnke ~ if you live west of the Mississippi and are a troutophile, this book belongs in your library. Blue Highways, By William Moon ~ a fascinating and well-written tale about a guy, his dog and their journey through backwoods America. |

On a bit of a Dan Brown kick as i finished the Da Vinci Code while at sea chasin bluefin tuna then immediately started Angels and Demons which i am about a 1/4 of the way through. As for angling i am in the middle of Earl Hodgsons "Salmon Fishing" and Chaytors "Letters to a Salmon Fishermans sons". Both are terrific!!! Hardy Guy
Obsessed Salmon Chaser since 1988!!

I'm getting "soooo" bogged down with good books. Mostly about building rods though.
Mer just allowed me to see his "Fly Rods Galore" to get some ideas on "how to's" for some ways of doing some operations. My good friend and rod maker, Dave Norling in Mpls has just given me "Split and Glued" by Marinaro and "Oregon Bamboo" by Joe Beelart Jr. Between those two I'm good for a long time. I have recently ordered and received the two building books by W. Cattanach and Geo. Maurer as I'm preparing to assemble some tools and seriously consider building sometime in the near future. Mostly reference mat'l. but it keeps ink on my nose at present! Jeremy. |

It was soooo hard not to write down the first thing that came to mind.
The Well Tempered Angler by Arnold Gingrich. He writes about the two original owners of my PHY rods which is very cool. Legends of the Fall by Jim Harrison. I've read two of the three novellas in it and am not so sure I haven't read it before. |

For the history of bamboo rods, I love Martin Keane's Classic Rods and Rodmakers.
For the history of the Beaverkill, I'd also recommend Ed van Put's The Beaverkill. For something different on nymph fishing, I'm studying Rich Osthoff's Active Nymphing Agressive Strategies. Randyflycaster |

Hey Armchair - that Camuto book is a good one, as is the Jack H book. A Life Worth Living by JH is good too.

creakycane,
I'm enjoying all three. The Camuto and Middleton books are great but they're best not to be picked up when your half asleep, as I usually am when I get time to read. You need to be able to concentrate to fully appreciate them. I just started the Hemingway book for something different - other then the two small mountain stream books. I also keep a copy of Walden and a few others in the truck/car. (In case I get suckered into stopping at the mall - "Its on the way and I have to pay a bill". It takes a minimum of 2 hrs to pay a bill!) |

Restitution, The Land Claims of the Mashpee, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot Indians of New England by Paul Brodeur. Having known Paul for over twenty five years
I was surprised to learn this weekend that I somehow missed this book, but it was published while I was living in New Mexico in 1985. The book starts with a
trout fishing trip to Mashpee in September 1962, when Paul makes a detour to the Ockry Trading Post in Mashpee, and is stopped in his tracks by the sight of a
mounted 24 inch Brook Trout caught in the Quashnet River in 1929 by Ferdinand Mills. It is a good little book with quite a bit of Cape Cod history in the
first section.
