Timbit Nation: A Hitchhiker's View of Canada

This is probably one of the best books I've ever read, especially considering a love geography and social studies. The author is John Stackhouse, a reporter for the Globe and Mail. He hitchhikes across Canada across such different terrains as the wild, rocky, shores of northern Quebec, to the rushing Ottawa River, to the rolling prairies,through the awe-inspiring mountains of British Columbia, all the way to the sandy "wet coast" of Vancouver Island. He meets many different, unique people with different views on pretty much everything. He meets men and women with very different jobs from drug dealers, loggers, fishermen, and park rangers to chefs and priests. It is about three hundred pages long, so I would recommend it for very dedicated readers from anywhere from thirteen to fifty in age, give or take a few years.It is a very interesting read that provides a lot of insight into Canadian culture and who we are as a people. I haven't written for a while, because I wanted to finish this book. Hope you enjoyed this review. Goodbye till the next book!
