For you, Greger, I prescribe "Double Whammy" by Hiassen. Bass tournaments will never be the same.

Emma, I don't know how I happened upon Hiassen, just lucky I guess. I've liked most of his books, some better than others; "Double Whammy" was my first experience with him and it was a "shaking the bed" funny event.
Shortly after I read the book, I found out that bass fishing is a BIG SPORT in Alabama. If I ever even see an article about bass fishing, I split my sides. You know, I should re-read good literature instead of the "junk" I put inside my brain.
Carl Hiassen cares about preserving our natural resources and he tells his story with wit. "a spoon full of sugar....." comes to mind. Since he wrote the book about Stiltsville in Miami, I have been on a quest to see that place. I understand one must charter a boat to get there.
Love Hiassen. He recently wrote a "juvie" book about owls that won either the Newberry Award or was runner up. I was good but not as good as "DW." IMHO.
