All are well written.

Just curious what the summer reading was like.
I’ve got C.J. Box’s new one sitting on the table- he’s a great read if you’ve ever traveled through Wyoming.

I’ll second Fly Fishing Fool.  I enjoyed it very much, even if I did have to pull out the dictionary at least once on several chapters.  It forced me to take my time and savor it.

Just finished Upland Autumn:

Ted Leeson’s new book “Inventing Montana” is one of the best fly fishing books I’ve read in the past decade. I think you need to have a familiarity with the Madison River valley to really appreciate it. But, it’s beautifully written with humor and thoughtfulness.

1. Just finished “We Are Soldiers Still” by Hal Moore and Joe Galloway. I really liked “We Were Soldiers And Once Young” and this book is a great followup to that.

[mike gee]

Just finished “Sloop” by Daniel Robb and am recommending to everyone I can.  It is about the author’s restoration of a Herreshoff 12 1/2 daysailer (a classic wooden sailboat).  But really – about so much more.  An appreciation of the slow and tangible in this digital age of immediate gratification.  Highly recommended especially if you have any interest in boatbuilding or woodworking/craft in general.  

[adam taylor]

On Mike’s recommendation I picked up Sloop as well from the library.

[adam taylor]

Thanks for the Montana 1948 recommendation as well.

New to forum… great listings above (recognize many… others not).

Currently unfamiliar with site decorum… so I’ll throw this one out there while time is still left — “Dry” by Augusten Borroughs.

It might sound like a fishing novel… but, it’s not.

[adam taylor]

Andy-

Thanks for the recommendation.

[Michael Phillippe]

I highly recommend Ted Leeson’s Inventing Montana. If you’re between 30 and 50 and know the Madison Valley, you’ll simply appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness of the prose. If you’re over 50, you’ll get it.

[andrew stoehr]

If it doesn’t violate board policy, I’ll post a link to a thread on my local (Connecticut) fly fishing board that is more or less a long list of the books I’ve read recently, with short comments on each.

[adam taylor]

Just finished a couple of bucks over the last few weeks.

Ed Engle’s Seasonal…interesting read.
Eric Blehm The Last Season, very good
The River Why..honestly, not for me, I could not get into it.  Maybe I missed something, but the story didn’t live up to the hype for me.

Currently reading Crossing the Water by Daniel Robb
On the end table is Richard Proenneke’s One Man’s Wilderness

[andrew stoehr]

One Man’s Wilderness is a great book.

[shane cavitt]

Just finished Trout Eyes by William G. Tapply. It is a collection of stories much in the same vein as Gierach. I really enjoyed the clean simple writing. It is definitely worth checking out.

[mick mccorcle]

Just finished Miles Nolte’s The Alaska Chronicles and am reading William Tapply’s Dark Tiger and John Larison’s Northwest of Normal.

[adam taylor]

How did you like the Alaska Chronicles…trying to get my hands on a copy of it right now.

Currently reading First Light by Tapply…
