January 6th: THE RIVER WHY by David James Duncan Since its publication by Sierra Club Books nearly two decades ago, "The River Why "has become a classic, standing with Norman Maclean's "A River Runs Through It "as the most-read fiction about fly-fishing of our era. Duncan's protagonist, Gus Orviston, is an irreverent young flyfisherman--a vibrant character who makes us laugh easily and feel deeply, and who speaks with startling truth about the way we live.
