trout fishing in america got me into Brautigan for a bit in the late 60s/early 70s. Then i got hooked on the harder stuff...James Tate and Diane Wakoski.

I really liked Willard and His Bowling Trophies. That was a fun book. Trout Fishing in America did me in, though. I couldn't finish it. I'm keeping it and will try it again in another few years. I save all my old Brautigan books.

... last night and love it. I'm a big fan of most of Richard Brautigan's writing (although I recently tried to read Trout Fishing in America and gave up half way through), and find Bukowski's writing a bit similar to Brautigan. The book I'm reading is ribald and funny. I'll be finished ...
I gave up on Trout Fishing in America. I'll read it some other time. It was really off the wall, but other than that, I wasn't enjoying it. Maybe I'll give another Brautigan book a try soon.

I love how you describe this. I happen to be reading Trout Fishing in America , by the late American author Richard Brautigan, which gives me the same feeling. Yours is a good way of describing non-sensical literature ...

By the way, I just started reading Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan today. The last time I read it was in 1970. I can't remember a word of it!! Anyone else want to join me? (Sanddancer ...

I've not read anything by him yet but I've got Trout Fishing in America on order from my library. Still waiting for it to come in though. Do you have a favourite that you could recommend?

... books in my mind as something I should probably read this year, so its good to have someone else recommend them too. And Trout Fishing in America could also count in my Animal titles category too.
You might enjoy Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan. It's crazy fiction from the period and focuses more on rural/communal aspects of hte period. It's commonly packaged as two novellas (Trout Fishing and Watermelon Sugar) and a long poem (Springhill Mine Disaster). Titles are deceptive . ...

... Trophies made the 1001 list, though In Watermelon Sugar belongs. Still, it was A Confederate General from Big Sur and Trout Fishing in America that revolutionized the novel form (IMHO) when they first came along.

Although he has two entries already, I'd have like to have seen Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America on there too. This may be personal bias, but it was the first truly avant-garde novel I ever read and slightly altered my view of what a novel was and could be.
