Product Description
Fishing’s Greatest Misadventures presents twenty-six true stories which cover the spectrum from terrifying to comical to downright bizarre. In these pages everyday fishermen, pros, and journalists tell their stories of freak accidents, fishy attacks, pranks, idiotic decisions, eerie or unexplained incidents, and other jaw dropping, adrenalin-pumping calamities.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.

This month's theme is nonfiction:

A Grand and Bold Thing: An Extraordinary New Map of the Universe Ushering in a New Era of Discovery by Ann K. Finkbeiner; 3665 locs, 240 pp; Interesting story of the first large-scale mapping of the known universe.
Germs, Genes, & Civilization by David P. Clark;  4884 locs, 304pp;  Completely fascinating look at contagion as a driving factor of history.
Buddha by Deepak Chopra; 4272 locs, 288 pp; Interesting novelization of the monk's life.
Columbine by David Cullen; 7500 locs, 432 pp;  Gripping narrative of one of our nation's great tragedies.  I learned a lot that I didn't know, and corrected even more that I knew wrongly.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann; 6141 locs, 352 pp;  Not quite as interesting as I expected.

Running totals:  5 books, 26,462 locations, 1,616 pages.

1. Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher           11487 locations                    Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          A novel you can sink into and enjoy; numerous characters come together and problems are solved for
          the betterment of all
2. Threads: the Reincarnation of Anne Boleyn by Nell Gavin     6500 locations   Smiley  Smiley
          Interesting concept - less successful in the execution; too talky, strange ending
3. The Long Walk by Stephen King                    4823 locations                     Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Riviting story - I would have liked to get to know the characters better.
4. Dies the Fire by S. Stirling                          9750 locations                       Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Great story and characters; a bit too descriptive in some places for me
5. The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines        5538 locations                         Smiley Smiley
          Fairytale princesses take matters into their own hands - interesting but it didn't really work for me
6. Kill the Story by John Luciew                      5460 locations                          Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Murder mystery set in the world of journalism, fast paced books that pulls one into the story
7. Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella    5719 locations                         Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Pure fluff and fun to read
