Theater of Fish by John Gimlette.
Very fun. Basically a travel writing book exploring Newfoundland and Labrador.

And lemme tell ya, it's the only one out there. Not a lot of folks go visiting "the Rock" let alone wholly forsaken Labrador.

It' written interestingly, as he follows the route of his great-grandfather. So the story flip-flops between around 2002 and 1893.

Good prep for my trip to Newfoundland. My residency is in Brigus (home of infamous Capt. Bob Bartlett) in Conception Bay, about 1.5 hr drive N of St. Johns. HOPEFULLY I'll have a bit of time afterwards to explore and do some camping, not that I want to be trampelled by a moose in the middle of the night.
