Farley Mowat...

Been on a bit of a Canadiana kick reading Farley Mowat's latest book Otherwise. An engrossing read detailing his youth, years in the military and time in northern Canada. I couldn't put it down. Made me want to visit the places described even though I know they would be nothing like they were some 60 years ago. The caribou migration sounds simply mind blowing. I would love to have witnessed that. With all the raw nature this man has seen it's understandable why he is somewhat bitter with what humankind has done to the planet and other life...

Now it's on to his 1984 book Sea Of Slaughter.
