Read Your Way Around the World is a series exploring the globe through books.
Maine is where you send a character you want to get rid of, someone who goes off to raise goats, farm oysters, prep for the apocalypse — or write a novel.
I was in my mid-20s, waitressing on an island off the coast of Rockland, Maine, when the actor William Hurt — ultrafamous, at the height of his career — sat down in my section.
Our shoreline is vast, over 3,000 miles of it, with hundreds of peninsulas and more than 4,000 islands.
But Maine is not all coast.
