100 Books in a Year: Book 12 – Timbit Nation: A Hitchhikers Guide to Canada by John Stackhouse
Timbit Nation: A Hitchhikers Guide to Canada by John Stackhouse
To be a writer, you need to read. You cannot be a writer if you do not read and it is as simple as that. To this end, I have decided that I will try and read 100 books this year.
To be environmentally friendly, these will be books I get mostly through the library, specifically my local library The Stony Plain Public Library and the Spruce Grove Public Library.
I love to travel and each year I try and convince Layla to allow me to do some traveling with her around the country. I also love books about people who walk, bike or hitchhike their way across our great nation. I really enjoyed Timbit Nation because it not only provided a commentary on the changing landscape of Canada, but it fueled in me the desire to strap on a backpack and hike around Canada for a time. One great thing about this book was that last year we drove from Edmonton to Niagara Falls and back, and I was able to relate to the things Stackhouse saw, and visited, since I had seen them too. A great book about Canada and hitchhiking across it.
