A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett

I see Jimmy Buffett like a tropical Mark Twain who also writes great songs. He knows a lot about a lot of things, like: boats, americana, pirates, business, music business, fishing, geography, and horses. A Salty Piece of Land tells a score of interesting stories surrounding the tropical adventures of a fugitive cowboy named Tully Mars.

Twenty pages in I decided it was time to learn fly fishing, immediately. As of writing this, I haven’t yet taken up any kind of fishing. Instead I kept reading as Tully had some of the best times you can imagine, as well as some pretty bad times. Either way it made me want to see more of the world and plan some adventures of my own.
