Speaking of "A River Runs Through It"... yes it's based
on a book by Norman Maclean. I recently listened to the book tape while
driving to Spokane and it's way better than the movie (yes, I know that's sooo
typical to say). The book deals with the flyfishing a lot more than the
movie did - it actually discusses what's going through Norman's head while he's
fishing, why he chose a particular pattern, why that pattern was good on one
pool and not the next, etc. Also, as with most movies, the storyline is
rather different.

-----Original Message-----sorry keith...i cant help you out there. i know of a great movie though...but you probably already saw it. im not sure if it was from a book or not. "a River Runs Through it" with brad pitt and tom skeritt. great flick if you havent seen it. if your interested in good reading on male type subjects i can give you some info. i have found an author who writes short stories about the civil war. most have twisted endings...meaning you cant figure them out till the end. the writer was a topographical officer for the union army. so the scenery descriptions put you right there!! should be able to find them at the library. the authors name is Ambrose Bierce. my favorite title of his is "Tales of Soldiers and Civilians" . i think youll find some very intense and interesting reading there...but no fishing. kevin s
