    Default Which Gierach book next?

    I am about done with my current book by John Gierach. I've read several and enjoyed them all. So far I have read:

    The View from Rat Lake
    Standing in a River Waving a Stick
    Even Brook Trout Get the Blues
    Dances with Trout
    Death Taxes and Leaky Waders

    Which one should be next? Thanks.

    From the introduction to "Trout Bum", written by Gary LaFontaine:

    "John Gierach is uniquely qualified to write this book. He's the nightmare that every father fears his daughter will bring home one day."

    Yes, agreed, "Trout Bum."

    By the way, TB, View from Rat Lake and Dances with Trout are all on audio tape.
    I have listened to them many times and wish he had done unabridged audio books of all of them. Great to listen to while tying or that long ride home from a days fishing.

    So far "Trout Bum" is leading the pack. Any other want to chime in?

    I'll have to check out the audio tapes!
