Required Reading in the Northwest

The Good Rain: Across Time and Terrain in the Pacific Northwest by Timothy Egan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you love the Northwest, you should read this book. Egan's first book is a thorough look at the landscape, the people, and the history of the region. Even though it has been twenty years since it was published, it is still incredibly relevant. Egan is an environmentalist and an outdoorsman and a lot of the book is about water and trees. He talks about how the landscape has shaped the people and how the people have shaped the landscape.

I learned a lot about my home and Egan has inspired me to explore it further.
