The Joke by Milan KunderaAll too often, this brilliant novel of thwarted love and revenge miscarried has been read for its political implications. Now, a quarter century after The Joke was first published, it becomes easier to put such implications into perspective in favor of valuing the book (and all Kundera 's work) as what it truly is: great, stirring literature that sheds new light on the eternal themes of human existence.
The Fly-Tying Bible: 100 Deadly Trout and Salmon Flies in Step-by-Step PhotographsI was very impressed with both the design and content of this fly tying book. Each photo of the finished flies are very clear, with the materials clearly illustrated. The step-by-step instructions are also clearly laid out and simple to understand.
