Love Ames and Geirach.

 

I read a book called The River Why by David James Duncan (bcube lent it to me) that I really liked.

 

Bcube actually has a book of mine (not the Ames one Brent, the other one) that I can't remember the name or author. If he is around, maybe he can put the title and author up. It's really good as well.

In the Summer I eat up the Sci-Fi and leave the fishing books for Winter.....some of my fave include...

 

Starship Troopers

Forever War

Old Mans War

Enders Game

Heh, I read three of those four in the last month. Maybe I'll have to check out Old Man's War next.

 

For fishing books, anything by John Gierach, Roderick Haig-Brown, and Thomas McGuane.

If you want a great book that is totally different than the normal flyfishing book, go pick up "What Fish See"

Great book that teaches you what colors are best at different depths, water types, etc....

 

The book was written by an Optometrist that is a flyfisher.

Don Quixote

 

any serious fly fisherman should read this and draw whatever inferences they would like...

 

replace the lance with a rod and the donkey with the vehicle to get to the rivers and its not much of a stretch.

 

I will also second the Longest Silence.
