"Something's Fishy" by Ted Williams...expertly researched and written stuff about fisheries management with a bit of quick witted humor. Its a compilation of his past works. The stuff on striped bass is a must read for all.

Been reading "Walden" too...its pretty deep and my shallow mind cannot absorb it all at once, but hey, I just read the same page a few times and it begins to sink in.

Plenty of Dr. Suess with the kids too...

Just read Walden not too long ago myself. Cant believe I didnt do it sooner! Good read and gives you plenty to think about when it comes to your daily life.

I started Into Thin Air (thought I wouldnt be able to put it down after Into the Wild but its not as enthralling to me I guess) and after that the next winter read will be The Maine Woods.

Nothing new on the agenda....still trying to get through some of the classics and such....

I'll probably re-read Striper by John Cole, some chapters from Striped Bass Fishing by Woolner and Lyman and a few of the selections in the Hemingway on Fishing compilation.

Re-read / study some chapters in The Fisherman's Ocean

I'm surprised to see a few people praise / recommend The Big One. I found it to be very poorly written and didn't like it much at all. Maybe it just wasn't my style of writing.

This is a good book - New England Stripers - it's an anthology of some of the best stories from On The Water Magazine's early years. There's some of Flaptail's writing in it also...Amazon, On The Water, and I sell it....
