For those with a little more time over the holidays, or if you want to pad your gift list with the February book pick....

It is by a Montreal writer who spent many years driving a taxi as he tried to write this book. It was short listed for the Giller and won the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 2008. I see that it has been republished in a super cheap paperback version for around $10.
Happy Holidays!

Hi Barb,
I can't seem to get on to write a blog - I opened an account, but it is to create a new blog?!! Anyways, I just wanted to update that I will be hosting in February. I am looking forward to your book choice.
