Brooke's Pick:
I am guilty of being one of those people who keep bookmarks in several books at a time, this being one of them. THE QUOTABLE FISHERMAN is a great resource for becoming familiar with a wide breadth of fly fishing writers and their "take" on a variety of related topics.  With clever chapter titles like "Some Ways We Do It," and "The Essence of the Pursuit," this book is easy and enjoyable to "get."  That's good reading, folks!
