RE: I need a treestand book...
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
Holden Caulfield is the most intriguing characterI've ever come across - stuck in an adolescent confusion, but. . . well, I won't spoil it. The reading is easy, it's set in a different time period (late 40's, if my memory serves me), so it's nostalgic, and it looks at the world through the eyes of an irreverent youth.
A lot of psychopaths and serial killers have been inspired by this book, and it has influenced musicians like Bob Dylan and Green Day- I'd guess b/c of its anti-establishmentarian undertones. The best book I've ever read, without compare. The ending is awesome. Not a very long book, either.
Second Place: Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (1884). If you've never read it, it's an awesome read. The lingo and ebonics can be slow to get through, but if you take it slow, and sound it out, it really takes you to another time, another place. Huck spends lots of nights in the woods and on the river - great for setting the mood in the stand.
