Just finished New England Grouse Shooting and while it was less story and more practical, I enjoyed it greatly. Provided a really nice history of not only grouse, but the area itself. Currently reading my new autographed copy of Tattered coat and enjoying it immensely.
In regard to non sporting books, Itwo of my favorite reads are The King Ranch by Tom Lea and The Years of Lyndon Johnson series by Robert Cairo. Two amazing reads.

I have hunted almost everything that walks or flies through books. They can take you anywhere in the world and you can go in different time periods. No where else can you hunt with Rutledge, Babcock, Roosevelt or Ruark.

Anything by Jack O'Connor and Zane Grey.
I just finished "The Best of Jack O'Connor", published 1977. Awesome collection of Jack's personal favorites. And "Zane Grey Outdoorsman" (selections by George Reiner), published 1972. Zane was equally outstanding as a hunting & fishing writer as with his western novels. |

I love books. To me, they represent knowledge and wisdom with nice covers! I will not live
long enough to make all the mistakes possible, so I (try) to learn from others experiences. If I found time to fish, my Parker fly rod would come in handy!!(LOL). |

I've read a lot of O'Connor and we have hunted sheep together from Alaska to Mexico. In addition Keith is well represented. It's interesting to not the differences between the two. Jack liked lighter faster bullets and Elmer the bigger the better. Seems I remember a Keith quote along the lines that a 375 made for a good prairie dog rifle. I've shot deer with both the 270 and a 375 both worked well.
I much prefer the look and feel of a book, no tablets :nono

I have enough trouble navigating this computer
 I can't see myself with a Kindel It would end up at the rifle range where I could test O'Connor VS Keith with a 270 and a 500 express rifle
