favorite book is a collection of Hemingway short stories. not sure which collection it is, etc, because i let an old pard borrow it a couple weeks ago. book is so well-worn it looks like it went on a fishing trip to the Big Two-Hearted River or maybe it survived a fateful safari in the back pocket of Francis Macomber.
-I always enjoy reading Huck Finn's adventures.
-FOLLOW THE RIVER by James Thom
-CATCHER IN THE RYE by Salinger
-Probably everything Steinbeck has written
