I often reread the carp strikes back , John Harry's savay and tels first book.
I still nead to read waiting for waddle which is in its cardboard protection box.
Funny what I decide to read and not.

The Eel Angler is a fantastic book. The best fishing book of recent years. I’m not an eel angler but I was engrossed.

Flick of a tail-my joint favourite book
Fox pool -see above
Basil’s bush-ok
wraysbury chronicles -very good read another favourite
Rod,pole or perch-funny and true to life
Cypry the carp-good
Redmire pool-(did have it but had a bad break up never got it back)
Canal carping-great read as it is what I love doing
Cassein and beyond-another one that’s a good read
The eel angler by Barry McConnell-another fantastic book but very pricey now

Read over the last couple of years or so;
Another Romp with Carp, Albert Romp - brilliant
Carping Mad - Spug Redfern - brilliant
Carping Mad 3 - Spug Redfern - brilliant
My Misspent Youth - Pecky - brilliant
Sticklebacks to Throwing Sticks - Tom Bankes - hard going
Rolling in The Deep - Adam Penning - hard going
Just about to start Nashy's two Memoir of a carp Fisher books,

I haven’t read a book for a while, now I’m thinking why 
I have a few older ones that I like to read, Albert Romps original romp with Carp, John Harry, both on Savay, which I have never fished and never will, and anything on Wraysbury ticks my box, both what I would call proper carp waters, captivated me, reading about them at the time, love it 
I have the Wraysbury chronicles boxed up somewhere, started to read it and never finished it, maybe this is the next one to read

One of my favourite books is "Quest for Carp by Jack Hilton" got me really exited about carp fishing. I found this book by accident in the sports section of the library in the 70s and since then bought a 2nd hand copy at a country show a few years ago. A lot of tales fishing at Redmire and Ashlea pool by some of the best carp anglers in the day ! "Brilliant Book" real old school.

Good Morning Stuart,
A good read needn’t be the most expensive one that’s for sure, I’ve been re-reading all of Tom Sharpe paperbacks picked up from charity shops of late, and every page I turn brings a smile 😂😂😂 they’re nothing to do with fishing, but I remembered they made me smile inside and out 😂😂😂

I'm currently reading "How to fish" by Chris Yates, which I've found to be very enjoyable so far. The book revolves around a days perch fishing on the river and is a collection of digressive "jottings" written during that day. Unsurprisingly, given the author, the book is in no way an instruction manual on "how to fish" at all. It only cost me £3.50 second hand as well.
