Brautigan's Trout Fishing

It's an advertisement for a trout stream selling at about six dollars and 50 cent a foot, unless you want a waterfall and then the price may be as high as $19.00 per foot. It's a beautiful stream though.

It's an amazing book is what it is. I

It is an excellent book that bridges the beat generation and hippies. America.

To quote volume one, number four, of Fly Fisherman: The Magazine for the Complete Angler
>Reading Trout Fishing in America won't help you catch more fish, but it does have something to do with trout fishing.
Considering the practical knowledge of those working at Fly Fisherman: The Magazine for the Complete Angler with the subject of trout fishing, I am inclined to take their view of the matter above the second hand knowledge of those working at the publishing house, The Viking Press, who stated:
>Mr Brautigan submitted a book to us in 1962 called Trout Fishing in America. I gather from the reports that it was not about trout fishing.
I would even venture as far as to say the readers at The Viking Press wouldn't know trout fishing in America if it were plainly written on their backs with chalk by the editorial staff over lunch break.

they're not pro-hippie books. i'd spoiler that, but not everyone's retarded.

i didnt say they were pro-hippie books. your reading comprehension is about as sophisticated as brautigan's writing.

I'm not sure if you got the ferlinghetti joke and are being retarded in the same manner on purpose, or if you're just retarded in general.
