A River Runs Through it and Other Stories by Norman Maclean

4.0

---

The book was long. There are three stories in my copy. Ranking from favorite to least: A River Runs Through It, USFS 1919: The Ranger, The Cook, and a Hole in the Sky, and Logging and Pimping and "Your Pal, Jim". I think most of my enjoyment from these stories came from the descriptions of Montana. They remind me of Northeastern Oregon with it's mountains and lakes and rivers. I appreciate the detailed recall of nature that Maclean sets forth in his stories. It was also interesting to learn about his life as a young boy.
