I am about halfway through another great book. It is my first one by Bernd Heinrich, and it may not be the last. I love journals that chronicle a year in the wild, and Bernd's "A Year in the Maine Woods", as you might have gathered from the title, does just that. He lives in a cabin with no electricity, no running water, living simply. Sounds good to me. Bernd is a professor of zoology at the University of Vermont, as well as a member of the Maine Sportsman's and Maine Running Halls of Fame. His observations of the natural world around him are making me really look forward to reading. I can see why he has won nature writing awards. One of my favorite quotes is also highlighted on the back cover, "the subtle matters and the spectacular distracts."

I just finished reading "Nature I Loved" by Bill Geagan I highly suggest it if you have not yet read. Your description of "A Year in the Maine Woods" sounds similar and I am heading to the library today to pick it up!
I'll have to check it out! Thanks for dropping by, let me know how the book is for you.
