The book "A River Runs Through It", which is three short stories, one of which is also called "A River Runs Through It" is very good too. I read it once over 10 years ago and I still think about it from time to time.
- skeeter2020 6y agoI really liked the book as well, and even the film! The author worked with the forestry service and it certainly shows in his understanding and deep love for the outdoors; making nature an integral part of the human psyche. The locale of Idaho (similar to Montana and Wyoming) is some of the shrinking open space left in the lower 48. I'm farther north in the Eastern Rockies and it's a very similar environment. I also like Louis L'Amour, specifically his non-western short story collections. It's junk food, but perfect for interspersing with harder reads.
