Soon the fall will give way to the winter in the Northeast. Any
suggestions for good enjoyable 'non technical' books to pass the time?
I just picked up Ray Bergman's Trout and I love it. Although there are
technical aspects to the book, I just really enjoy the guy's writing
style. Any other recommendations?

Leeson's "Jerusalem Creek" is also very good. As is Middleton's "The Earth is
Enough".There are lots more, enough to fill up years of closed seasons.
