{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Is fishing escapist, or is it the other way?

Thank you for the reading suggestions -- I enjoy reading and used to do a lot more of it than I currently do.  Calvin and Hobbes reflects how I feel about most things in life, but I really like a lot of the writing from the fly fishing community as well.  I'll probably pick up some of this stuff used on Amazon and/or bother members if they have copies ;).  But I won't return them though just so you know -- at least not in good condition anyway ;).  I borrowed a coworker's 4-piece 8 weight combo the other day and told him I'd return it in at least that many pieces.  

I guess a lot of you folks tend to feel the same (at least to some degree) -- maybe that's what is great about fishing.  Honestly I don't mind my job and I definitely don't feel like I have a right to complain - it's just "any job" wouldn't hold a candle to this hobby.  

On a side note, I spend way, way too much time online looking up fly patterns and and checking this forum.  Is there a support group for this?  Like in Fight Club?  I guess there are worse things, like golf, heroin and being a NY Rangers fan.  BTW - Aaron, I've read that book.  I think that book was read to me when I was little, along with "too much junk food" with the Berenstain Bears.  Good stuff.  

Anyway - I appreciate the reading tips!
