More Stories of the old duck hunters By Gordon MacQuarrie

 More Stories of the old duck hunters 

By Gordon MacQuarrie, a collection of in the woods of Wisconsin ( you will recognize many a location - he loves the Brule, don’t we all); he wrote for a sporting magazine back in the 30’s & 40’s.  

Actually I’ve now read three of his books(call it my mini- trifecta). I read them when I have a hard time falling asleep and I just lay in bed and read them and dream about fishing,  I didn’t ever hunt and my fishing skills are zero , I’m not even a fisherman compared to these guys, but hey they are my dreams cut me some slack . his  books are really compilations of articles he wrote for sports magazines and journals and daily papers back in the day. he died in the late 50s I believe. I got them as e- books from my library. Just grab anyone of them even if you don’t want to read, they are fun to read.

Before the coffee gets cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s

Before the coffee gets cold



Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? The fact is only your attitude of perceptions are things you can change. Good not great yet enjoyable More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time. Why and what outcome would you be looking for?
