How is the book? I hear they are making a movie of Peace Like a River.

It's good, you should pick it up. It was my go to pipe smoking book until I finished it.

I have noticed a lot of Jack London stories (especially the short stories) feature pipe smokers.

I too started the WOT series. I quit at Winter's Heart because there was way too much going on. To many side stories. I almost needed a flow chart to keep up with everything. Well, Jordan is dead now so I guess the series will never be finished.

I prefer Goodkind's Sword of Truth series.

All the dudes in Three Men in a Boat are pretty much constantly smoking their pipes. I think it makes the perfect pipe-read, too. Funny but still somehow thought-provoking with likable characters.

A great book. If you liked that try "to say nothing of the dog" by Connie Willis. It takes the theme to a whole new level. I can't recall whether there's much pipe smoking though.

I think Richard Pryor talks about smoking a pipe in his autobiography??? rofl

Yeah, if you take away the 'tobacco' part & are just looking for main characters who smoke a pipe, there's all kinds of books out there for ya.

What about Huck Finn & Tom Sawyer

I am trying to remember high school english but I think these characters were pipe smokers
