Editor’s note: The following article is a synopsis written by staff members and volunteers of the Cary Public Library highlighting one of the suggested reading books, as determined by their staff.
As a general rule, we know “Maine is wicked good” and ever so superior to some other habitats. Stephen Gleasner in his “The Wicked Good Book” just plain verifies it. From stalking night crawlers to hypnotizing a lobster to defending one’s self from a moose his essays are a joy to read.
Book reviews are included. Directions to making a fire from Moxie cans, char cloth, ice or shoelaces and twigs are quite detailed. Now, outdoors in winter you might need a shelter: do you know how to build an efficient place to protect yourself from the elements? And, we won’t go into the direction for burning rubber- there is enough of that activity in Houlton already.
Available at Cary Library along with numerous “Maine” books for your pleasure. The Cary Public Library is open Monday-Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, call 532-1302.
