Andrew Mercer's Blog

Three months since my last blog post …. jeez.

I didn’t get through the books listed in my last reading-list-related blog post and I chose to back burner some of the titles listed in exchange for some different ones. I’ve decided to read a variety of books that I’m hoping will help me better understand Newfoundland history and culture so the new list of books together form a bit of a Newfoundland centred theme. Here is the new list:

The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx (half-way finished)
A History of Newfoundland from the English, Colonial, and foreign records by D.W. Prowse
Ferryland: The Colony of Avalonia by B.D. Fardy
A Question of Time by J.F. Cuff
Shadows and Echoes: The Man and His Poetry by R.A. Parsons
The Newfoundland Quarterly: Its Evolution Over an 85 Year Period

Books from March that I completed:
Death On The Ice by Cassie Brown*
The Sound And The Fury by William Faulkner
Random Passage by Bernice Morgan*
Haunted Shores: True Ghost Stories Of Newfoundland And Labrador by Dale Jarvis*

Hopefully I’ll get some time to review my trip back to Newfoundland because it was pretty amazing.
