It took you five posts to respond to this...I expect better from you Irving. Where you in the bathroom or something?

"Trout Bum" by John Gierach

Holy crap, what a great book!! I've been fly fishing for <1 year and this book was freaking awesome. You fly fishing gurus would probably get more out of it than me, but John writes in such an "everyday" kind of style that almost anyone can read this and enjoy the narrative...it's not just about fishing at all. One of the best I've read in years.

Wow. That sucks. The Mitch Rapp series is pretty damn good. I'm 5 or 6 books into it.

Finished "Standing in a River Waving a Stick" and am well into "Flyfishing the High Country", both by John Gierach.

Since July 1 has come and gone, it seems that my gun trust business has subsided to the point where I find myself with a bunch of free time on my hands. I'm an avid reader and am quickly running out of stuff to read so I'm looking for suggestions from like-minded folks.

I read almost exclusively for entertainment and it seems like I gravitate towards detective, who-done-it style books.

Here's a list of the stuff I've finished so far:

Vince Flynn books--all of them-- from American Assassin through The Last Man
Lee Child's Jack Reacher series
Brad Thor--all of them
Ted Bell--all of them
James Patterson
Michael Bennett series
Alex Cross series
Private series
David Baldacci
Camel Club series
Alex Berenson

Other one-offs:
Chris Kyle's book
Lone Survivor
Decision Points
Patriots

I just counted and it appears that I've downed 32 books so far this year.

Any suggestions of an author or series I should consider?

Thanks!
