Now is definitely the time for all my non-fiction lovers to pick up a good novel! It’s a charming story that really takes me out of the day-to-day and I appreciate how little it relates to what I spend most of my time thinking and worrying about. It’s entirely different from what I’m usually reading, but now is the perfect time to dive into some fiction that takes place in a world far away. I’m currently reading the novel A Gentleman in Moscow, which was a wedding gift last year from a mentor in the outdoor industry. It is a really good read about leading through challenge – and a cool historical story.īecky Humphries, chief executive officer, National Wild Turkey Federation
I would recommend Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing, about the failed attempt to cross Antarctica in 1914. This realistic novel of a late buffalo hunt curled my hair.

To be fair, it was the film adaptation of A River Runs Through It that inspired so many people, including me, to pick up a fly rod for the first time. Of course, we have Seward to thank for the acquisition of Alaska from Russia, often referred to as ‘Seward’s Folly.” I am reading Walter Stahr’s Seward: Lincoln’s Indispensable Man, a detailed biography of the disheveled man from Auburn, New York, who would be President Lincoln’s right hand throughout the depths of the Civil War, and would go on to serve as Secretary of State for another three years after Lincoln’s death. So we reached out to staff, board members, and friends of TRCP for suggestions on what books sportsmen and women might enjoy during these strange times. With more time at home than usual, many Americans are finding time to catch up on the reading that can seem difficult to fit into everyday life. He often juggled several books at once, covering wide-ranging subjects, and commonly recommended or sent books to friends and acquaintances. Perhaps not surprisingly, given his well-known curiosity and his own accomplishments as a writer, Theodore Roosevelt was a voracious reader.
