At the slightest mention of carp I recommend this little novel by the
Czech, Ota Pavel, "How I met the Fish" in English translation. Its was
first recommended to me by a friend as the best book written from a
non-religious Jewish perspective on fishing, and carp raising. Pavel
died in 1973, after struggling with mental illness and the communist
regime, but this book was in my opinion his master work. His other
sports writing is supposed to be very good but not much available in
English, and my Czech is limited to what it takes to order a beer.
