Default Something to read on holiday?

I'm going on holiday in 3weeks and want to take a few books to read next to the pool. Can anyone recommend a good fly fishing related book?

I,ve got a load of books by John Gierach for sale, very amusing, they,re not instuctional, just lots of essays on general fly-fishing subjects, PM me if you're interested, I,d highly recommend them.

Any John Gierach just to pass the time.
The Trout and the Fly by Brian Clarke and John Goddard for a bit of fishing instruction.
The Nature of Trout by Nick Giles on how to look after the fish (without getting too scientific!).

Blood Knots by Luke Jennings, reviewed here. Possibly the last time for a while that you'll see a fishing book make the William Hills Sports Book of the Year shortlist.

Absoulutely anything by John Gierach. I have read all of his books in the last 12 months including his latest book released in May - "No shortage of good days". These are not "how to do manuals" but are crammed with angling philsophy & Wit. In my opinion his best two offerings are "Trout Bum" and "Even brook trout get the blues"

Enjoy!
