Illuminated by Water

Post by Troydog »

By Malachy Tallack, popped through my letter box this week. It’s about the Nature, memory and delights of a fishing life.
I wondered if anyone has read it?

I’m in the middle of listening to this book:- (Audible edition). It’s very interesting to begin with, but loses me when Tallock goes deeply into Animal Rights activists.

I've just downloaded the Kindle sample as it sounds interesting. I'll let you know if I progress to the whole thing and what I think of it if I do.

What is your favourite word?
I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.

I think the introduction and the first chapter give one of the best accounts I've read of why we fish.
