The Compleat Angler
If you want to find an answer to the question what is to be preferred 'angling or hunting' you should have a closer look into this book. In form of a philosophical dialogue the Piscator convinces the Venator (who regards the Piscator as his master) of the superiority of angling. You'll learn about the different ways of angling, come to know about proper fish and get the right attitude of the compleat angler. If you go to Marlow (UK) then you can go to the bar of the Perfect Angler Hotel, have a pint and enjoy all the marvelous illustrations of the book and you'll even find a small sculpture on the main characters of this book. Excellent prose, hypnotic writing (even though the book is very old) and really recommended (even for non-anglers like me). This classic was a huge bestseller back then and if you reading now you get a hint why it was so popular!
