Default Book recommendations?

Are there any books that you would suggest?

It doesn't necessarily have to be fishing/flyfishing related. *In past years
I have read "The Ridge Runner" , "North to the Night", "Working on the Edge"
and could hardly put them down...

TIA,

Second the recommendation for Traver -- it is forever fresh.

William G. Tapply, whose dad was the guy who did _Tap's Tips_ in Field
and Stream years ago, writes a pretty good series of crime / mystery
novels, whose protag is preoccupied with fly fishing, and discusses it
intelligently withing the context of the stories. Start with _Spotted
Cats_.

I could give you acres of science fiction leads, but nothing that has
fishing.
