A Book Review from TIM:
ReplyDelete"The Stream Of Time" By Len Harris -- This Book shares the beauty of the outdoors!
I got my copy of Len's book, "The Stream of Time" , in the mail this afternoon, and immediately started thumbing through
it.
After reading 4 or 5 of the short stories, I put the book down, because it is something I want to take my time with and
savor. I am putting this "Review" in this thread about Sharing the Beauty of the outdoors, because that is just what
"The Stream of Time" does.
I am sure everyone has had many times in their lives when something really hits home, when you have a kind of "buzz" in
your chest, and you just feel like smiling at the world. Just a quick glimpse of something that revives s a beautiful memory, or
something special in your life, things that are just great to be reminded of.
That is what "The Stream of Time" is all about. It is beautifully written, and like sitting on a quiet river bank, or around a
campfire with good friends sharing stories.
I hope everyone that reads this post will get hold of this book, enjoy it, share it with your kids, and let friends and family
know about it.
It is a very special book.
Tim
I picked up a copy of "The Stream of Time" last year and really enjoyed it. The short stories are light, easy reading, but paint such vivid pictures that I feel like I'm in the Driftless. It's the kind of book that doesn't just sit on a shelf and collect dust, but gets opened again and again. A great addition to any sportsman's reading collection.

A very good read for anyone who loves the outdoors. Full of hunting and trout fishing stories centering around Southwest Wisconsin’s Driftless Area. Len blends very personal looks back at his childhood with informative and amusing hunting and fishing experiences.

Len Harris is not your average fisherman. Not only does he possess a vast knowledge of trout and the beautiful streams they inhabit in the Driftless Area of SW Wisconsin, but for decades, he has made the wise habit of stopping along the way to notice and appreciate the birds, flowers, insects, cattle, trees and pretty much everything he comes across while fishing - including the people. This makes Len an interesting person and a great storyteller - and that truly comes across in this book.
ReplyDeleteWhat I most enjoy is Len's writing style. He uses a casual common-man approach in how he describes his fishing endeavors, doing so in a way that doesn't alienate the rest of us who would have to spend years accumulating just a portion of his stream fishing expertise. Lastly, he has a great respect for the countless trout he has caught and helped so many others to catch as well. I highly recommend this book.

I have known Len, or “Bugs” as we called him when we were kids since I can remember. He was always the big kid I wanted to hang out with but I really didn’t know too much about him. I knew the basics. He played basketball for the high school. He was a staple at the town pool. I had also heard he had been in the Army, but I didn’t learn much about that part of his life along with many of the other details of his life.
ReplyDeleteLen and his family have always been an important part of my life, but there was always a little something I didn’t know about, not that it was hidden, but as the fine Norwegian stock we came from, we don’t talk about feelings or things that shaped our lives. We just are and that’s enough. Or at least that’s what we figured because it’s the way our parents were, so it was normal.
I met Len again in this book, The Stream of Time. This time I got to know him as a young boy and learned of the relationships he had with his Dad and many of the people who shaped his life. I always knew he liked to fish, but for years I thought it was just his hobby. Now I know it means so much more to him and all those he has the opportunity to share time on the water with in the “Driftless Area” of Wisconsin. This truly is his church and he worships at the altar of family values every time he prepares to fish.
Reading his book has given me a new perspective on my own experiences with my Dad and the all too few times we have been out fishing or hunting together. I am lucky, my Dad has been around my whole life and I have been able to share so much with him. But now, as both my “old man” and I grow older and having read this fine book, I find myself wanting to be able to share these experiences with my son as Len has done with his daughter Anna. The memories they have together can never be taken away and with Len’s penchant for photography they can be shared vividly with all those who may happen to run into these trout stream anglers.
If you have the chance to pick up this book, The Stream of Time, I suggest you do so when you have some time on your hands. This collection of memories will have you pausing every few minutes to think back about that last fishing trip with your Dad or the first time you took your kid out to your “secret” fishing hole and before you know it you’ll be finding yourself drifting along on your own stream of time.

ReplyDeleteGreat book,finished last night
Thank you very much for the copy of your book. I read it from cover to cover, essentially at one sitting and really enjoyed it. You do a great job of expressing your sentimentality of past relationships and events. I can identify with so many of the things you write about, from my own past. My father taught me how to catch trout when I was a boy. I took him on many a trout fishing adventure well in to his retirement. He is gone now, but I cherish every memory of my time with him. Hopefully my trout-fishing son "Sam" will also have good memories of our times together on the stream.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!

ReplyDeleteLen,
Grace was so ecstatic about the book you signed for her. It's now her book and it stays in her room for her own reading pleasures!
I finally got time tonight to sit down and read it...Couldn't put the thing down and ended up reading cover to cover. Throughout the book, there were actually many times when I could actually smell the clay and silt of the trout streams and hear the bubbling as well as feel
that cool bite on some early season opening weeks.
Thank you so much for that gift of a book. Also, after having read the whole book, I now have a better understanding of the "language" you write with and
have to admit that it is incredibly effective at delivering your message.
Thanks again buddy and can't wait to get out on the water to see if we can photograph a giant. My goal, no matter how far-fetched, is to try to get you into the longest trout of your life. There is actually one hole I know of that nobody fishes well that could easily hold a giant and that is incredibly hard to sneak up on unless one is familiar with the hole.
That and the hole that I got my 28.5 are in the same stretch. If your back can take a little extra hiking, I also want to take you to the hole my buddy got his 31.5. We might hit that hole first...not sure yet.
Best wishes and thanks again buddy!!
