Yeah, you're right, that was a really politically correct book, it defined the man for me.

When I got to the point where he broke his brother's fly rod in half, I'd had enough. You probably remember the passage I'm talking about.

Raines as a amall child had been left behind by his dad and brother on a fishing day because he was too young for the kind of fishing they were doing. So, in a fit of childish tantrum and revenge, he broke his brother's expensive fishing rod in half. Raines then proceeded to let all his readers know that, even as an adult, even as he wrote his (dumbass) book, he continued to be glad about having destroyed his brother's fly rod.

A true jerk.

The Times was just about to unveil a new marketing program..in an attempt to restore Raines' luster...."The NY Times..when it Raines, it pours.."
