Campfire
Given that this is the campfire section and topics are varied, I was wondering if anyone has read any good books lately or has a recommendation on a good read. I saw the recent fishing blog had a book that looked interesting. Historical, biographical, non-fiction, fiction, recent release or one that is a personal favorite you could read over and over. What would you recommend as a good read?
In defense of Hunting. Forgot the Author. I len the book out. Should be our bible.
Author is James Swan.
A River Runs Through It, by Norm MacClean. A Classic
hunting whittails succsesfully and the dead zone
Generation Kill, The Bear went over the Mountain, and The Other side of the Mountain.
My favorite work of fiction is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
Tales of the last river rat by Kenny Sawley
For historical, try Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe" series.
Robert Ruark, The Old Man and the Boy
The Old MAn and the Boy is a great book, if you are a dog fan check out Merle's Door by Ted Kerasote.
The Matarese Circle - Robert Ludlom. Sea Wolf - Jack London. If you like military fiction Dale Brown is also a good Author
" The Old Man and the Sea " by Hemingway. I read it recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was an easy read and one which when I put it down, I found myself going back to it quickly.
"The Worst Hard Time" is an account of life in the great dust bowl duing the thirties, the same area and time covered by Stienbeck's The grapes of Wrath, but it is the story of the people who stayed, and it is a historical account, not a work of fiction. This was an ecological disaster of unparraleled magnitude, basically we stripped the grasslands of the great planes to grow wheat, and then when drout came to an already dry and windy region, well...
Plus one for the Sea wolf as well.
Anything by John Gierach is a must read for flyfisherman.
"Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins is a great self discovery story about coming to terms with yourself, and learning your place in things
any of the Ted Nugent books such as "God, Guns & Rock n Roll" or "Ted, White and Blue"
