One of the best "how-to" books on fly fishing
This is a composite of three previously published L. L Bean guides: fly-fishing, casting, and fly tying. The first part is Whitlock's book on fly-fishing and is one of the best (the other being Rosenbauer's Orvis book) introductions to the sport of fly fishing. The ...

Love and War
This is not a book I would have ever picked up on my own. Although I love and care about dogs, and all animals, with a passion, I generally don't have any interest in reading true-life "My Dog and Me" stories. However, my mother highly recommended it and now I'm glad ...

Oh, I wish I were there again!

We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance
David Howarth
The Lyons Press, 2007
A story of survival that no one hears about.
