I wasn't sure what to expect when I got there but I actually really enjoyed myself. Grant was a very compelling speaker and read a few excerpts from his book. One excerpt was about an encounter with a "cougar" while he was swimming naked. He stopped reading right before the "cougar" was revealed. He spoke with great enthusiasm and told a fair share of jokes. There were probably about 40 people there and he signed copies of his book for people at the end.
A neat twist was that he invited local musician Del Barber to perform a few songs in between his readings. Del's music is folk-style and almost sounds like country without the honky-tonk. It was just him and his acoustic guitar.
The book is about his cabin which is located at Desolation Sound in B.C. and his various adventures and the people he's met.
I didn't buy the book but Dani did so hopefully she'll let me borrow it :)
This does sound like an interesting book. He sure looks entertaining. Maybe ask for the book for Christmas!
