A River Runs Through It (thing)

This book is so true, and that's what makes it immensely powerful. The sheer ecstasy of existence is laid bare to the reader. It's part novel, part fly fishing manual, and part guidebook to life as it should be. Among the key points of the book are:

• Bait fisheremen are evil
• Don't mess with the family river
• A hangover is no excuse not to go fishing
• Angry Scottish women are Considered Harmful
