Outstanding Canadian Books: Or: Reading Canadian, eh?

book cover imageFrom G&M book reviewer T.F. Rigelhof comes "Hooked on Canadian Books" which promises us an overview of "The Good, the Better and the Best Canadian Novels since 1984".  I found myself skimming the table of contents to see which titles I recognized, or had read, and then checking whether Rigelhof's assessment matched up with my own.  But even better, there are many titles that I haven't yet had a chance to read and his reviews will help me sift through to the gems which I will add to my ever-growing 'must read' list.  You will find this celebration of English-Canadian novels is more than a collection of reviews and essays.  It's a conversational survey of all that is good in our nation's literature, and an examination of what makes a book a good read, -- all the while managing to be a good read itself.

For some further help in finding Canadian fiction, take a look at the Fiction section under the Read heading on our LPL web site.
