Summer reading
 

Kinda embarrassed to admit I've never read these two classics but I just picked up this Classics of American Sport edition combining the two titles...

:o....I haven't either Phil...:o

The first one is a great read. Haven’t read the second but was told it isn’t as good. Of course that is singular heresay.

You’ll enjoy them, Phil.

I have the same for many years and it is just as good the 4 th or 5 th time as the first. Went to see my Granddaughter in Myrtel beach and The Old Mans house is an hour north so went and poked around the places mentioned in the book. His house is a bed and breakfast now.

Im sure you’ll love them. That first book is very special.

Ruark’s obit. Hemingway was his idol and they were soulmates for sure.

Garth, it wanted me to have a subscription to view. This appeared in a recent Sporting Classics Daily and prompted me to seek out the Ruark book...

I love them both. I’ve reread them many times.

I recently read the first one. My son read it and did a book report on it. Everyone who is interested in outdoor sports should read it.
