Another non lousy book by the Master - By: , 05 May 1999
If you are a fan of John Gierach, & I am, this will come as no surprise to you. It is well written, witty & full of deep insights into the human condition & how it relates to flyfishing. As always John draws you into his world & time stands still. this book ranks alongside Trout Bum, although I prefer the first book of his I read (Sex, Death & Flyfishing), but I suspect that this will always be the case with a favourite author!
Being part of a great fishing adventure without leaving home - By: , 28 Sep 1997
I found "Another lousy day in Paradise" to be an enjoyable read. The author's command of the English langauge is probably as good as his ability to cast a fly (although I must admit I don't know how good that is, but I assume it to be above average). I found the humour used to my liking & not hindered by the current trend of being politicallly correct at the expense of a good read. At the same time the book offends no-one but is quite suble at poking fun at the wealthy in general & the rat race in particular. The book is a collection of John's outdoor adventures, undertaken both alone & with a few friends. The book covers a broad range of topics from fly fishing to hunting & many things in between. It is the type of book that can be read more than once as the mood takes one. For any other fans of this style of writing may I recommend two books by the South African Author Tom Sutcliffe ; My way with a Trout, & Reflections on fly fishing. (I hope I have spelt the author's name correctly) I look forward to reading more books by John in the near future. Kind regards, Jeff Hume
