Question Favorite fishing book

I have to give credit to Adson for this thread.
So the question is: What is your favorite fishing book?
You know the one you read at the end of every season and before the beginning of the next, it's on the shelf under your nightstand, always close at hand and your wife says have'nt you read that book before?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Reading the Water is always a good quick read because each of the chapters is a different story.

what are some of the older classics that you guys have on the shelf ? or wish you still had on the shelf ?

Anything Fishy. I love reading about the history of the sport. Anything about the experiences of the 60's and early 70's.

Twenty Years has secrets. You need to read it over and over and then lights start going on. I've read mine every winter since I bought it 10 years ago. It's pristine compared to Flaptail's.

Books

Got an original signed copy of Reading The Water by Robert Post I bought on the Vineyard in Feb. 1989. I am pretty sure the author passed away several years ago. The book that I read lately that I found interesting is Night Tides by Michael Cinquemani. Based on the south shore of Long Island. Good easy read. Not a lot of how too's but if you like stories about big fish you will like this. My sister in law lives on Long Beach in N.Y. and sent it to me. If you can't find it PM me and I will mail it to whom ever and you can mail it back when you are done. P.M.
