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...

Anything by Pat McManus and/or Gene Hill. No particular reason to
recommend
them, and I can't even say why they popped into my head, but they did.
IIRC,
I've recommended them on ROFF in the past. I think I've read all the books
by
both and I know I've liked all I've read - as always, YMMV.

Not fishing, but Lee Childs "Richter" series. Good reads. I get at the
library.

No, this should have me in reading for years to come...

Ah, that appears to suggest you found something on the list to your
liking. Good.

Thanks,
JT

You're most welcome. And so is your choice of topics.

Yeah, I know, they'll never catch on. And they're obsolete.

Are you interested in music recommendations?

Bill is a librarian. The :-) indicates that "Books... meh."
was a joke.

Once again, Fred, you have scorch marks on your pate from a
post screaming over your head at supersonic speed.

I must like you quite a bit, I mean I usually charge at least
a quarter a clue and I've given you five, six bucks worth of
clues by now.

Yeah, that'd be about right.....five, six (2009) bucks worth of clues.

Self-inflated fool.

who remembers when a buck was worth a quarter.

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.
