Canadian authors
Hello everyone,
Whilst on our recce trip the other week travelling through the boonies, we saw a lot of advertising for a book by Brian Horeck called 'Frozen Beneath'. We ended up buying it and I'm currently enjoying reading it. It occured to me then that I couldn't name any Canadian authors (apart from Brian Horeck) so I wondered if any of you have read any good books by Canadians and if so what were they? |
Re: Canadian authors
Visiting Hours by Shane Koyczan is a really good poetry book. The guy is extremely talented with words.

Re: Canadian authors
Kathy Reichs - The 'Bones' series.
Oops...my mistake. She's American. But much of her stuff happens in Montreal I think. Strangely, Brian Horeck is on Amazon.com but the Canadian Amazon doesn't seen to know him by name. :confused: |

We only found out about Brian Horeck because we saw the adverts on billboards in the middle of nowhere! We stopped at a gas station and asked the lady there about it because they were selling the book there. |

No, you're thinking of Terry Pratchett
What Jane Urquart books would you recommend? |

Anything by Charles Taylor. Which given the tenor and subject of debate on this forum lately might be a good idea for us all.
