Herter's Fly Tying and Lure Making book, don't remember the name. Also Non-ff "Fatal Shore" about the founding of Australia. The new Fly Tier just got here yesterday, but is already done. Loved the Article about Charlie's Fly Box.

McLanes Fishing Encyclopedia (It's getting way to heavy to lift) and; currently plodding through The River Why. A strange book.
Recently The Snow Fly. I liked it.
Charlie Craven's new fly tying book.

The River Why is still on my top ten favorites of all-time list... As an English Lit major in college I was forced to read a lot of stuff looking for hidden meanings and mostly worked hard at finding hidden twists or way to explain the "writer as joker" line of thought...
So many different thoughts along the way seemed to hit me with a baseball bat as I read it... The sentence structure through the book changes and the sentences get longer and "twistier" as the book progresses and less inclined to make definitive statements... I saw a lot of life in the book...
But then, I was that Eng major...

Hi,
Though it's not directly a fly fishing book, Richard Louv's "Last Child in the Woods" has been on my list forever - he is a devoted fly fisher, and that comes through.
But I happened to find a week on the farm in Michigan with just me and the dogs, so I tackled the List, and read it. Sorry I waited :-)

"Way of the Peaceful Warrior" and "Fly Fishing Patagonia: A Trout Bums guide to Argentina"
Hap,
I was an English Lit failure in High School. I'm about 70% through the book but finally got the rhythm of Duncan's pen and can already see a lot of the depth in his writing.
Thanks for your incite. I'll add the book to my library and have to do a reread. At present I borrowed it from the library.
My "Garden angel" and I.

"A Fly Fishers Life: The Art an Mechanics of Fly Fishing" by Charle Ritz
Non Fly fishing- "Twilight on the Line: Underworlds and Politics at the Mexican Border" by Sebastion Rotella.
"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins
"Things I've learned from the Women Who Dumped Me" by Ben Karlin
"This Boys Life: A memoir" by Tobias Wolff.
I work for a public library system and deal with books all day long. I start way too many and it takes some time to finsh them but eventually I do.

I am currently reading "Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America" by Douglas Brinkley. I saw an interview with him on "The Daily Show" and it sounded like a very interesting book. So far, a lot of stuff I didn't know about his early leanings to being a naturalist. Very good so far.
