A River Runs Through it and Other Stories by Norman Maclean

4.0

---

I didn't LOVE "A River Runs Through It" the way I never loved Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" -- I can't get into tales of self-destructive young men (even if played by Brad Pitt in the movie). But I did love the two shorter stories that followed. One told of the author's time as a lumberjack in a logging camp, and the other of his time working with the Forest Service. Both are fascinating glimpses of a time gone by, told with great wit.
