Farley Mowat also had the distinction of being banned from the U.S.
He was getting on a plane in Toronto for a book tour in the U.S. when he was
told
he wasn¹t allowed in. He was on a list of Anarchists, Communists, and other
ne¹er do wells.
Not a book, but has anyone seen the sailing disaster film, All Is Lost, with
Robert Redford?
I had high expectations, but was pretty disappointed.

Sometime last spring, someone on the list mentioned that he was reading the
Farley Mowat book; "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float"; I had never heard of Mr.
Mowat, but noted that the comment was that the book was enjoyable. So I
picked up a used paperback copy on ebay. I laid it aside during spring
launch and other activities, and came across it a couple of weeks ago. I
just finished the book and I am hooked. This was a great read and I couldn't
put it down. Since I know little of the northern waters described in the
book, I kept my laptop next to me and scoped out all of the places they
went, which made it even more enjoyable. So thank you to whomever it was
that suggested the book, I am now a Mowat fan!
