This is a must read for you Canadians. Rich Terfry (Buck 65) weaves together some incredibly entertaining tales of his journey from his childhood in the Maritimes, to CBC radio host and seasoned hip-hop artist. Highly recommended.

We recently picked up a really nice illustrated volume of William Cowper's poetry with some beautiful gold gilding. We can't seem to find a date inside. If anyone has an idea, please let us know!
Isaac Asimov is quite the wonder. Master of Science Fiction, Physics, Shakespeare, History and more. His passion for learning and writing were outstanding. It must be a wonderful feeling, to have something so special inside of you.
The loss of the great Daniel Naroditsky is immense. A legend on and off the board. He'll be missed.
We need something tonight to make us smile in light of such a tragic loss. John Kennedy Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces" should do nicely.
Raymond Chandler. Master storyteller of Noir and the Hardboiled Detective. A reading of the High Window might be required for this week's #WindowFriday
Wow. These stories from Stuart McLean are so great. They contain so much humour, heart, and real life. We’ve really fallen in love with them. Really, really impressed.
It's good to sit down and crack open a window into the thoughts of great thinkers from the past. They're so different than those of today. There's a sense of substance and weight to them, unlike the majority of "thoughts" that get floated around today.
Mythology. Nobody did it better than Edith Hamilton. The way she lays out the stories, connects them, and created these amazing family trees for further depth...is just unparalleled. The House of Atreus is a terrifying tale for this spooky season.
Is there a book that so wonderfully captures and interlaces coziness, humour, wholesomeness, and adventure quite like Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows? We think not, but if you know of any top contenders, please do let us know.
This is a madness of which we never want to be cured. Behold, Nicholas Bisbanes tome "A Gentle Madness". A book about bibliophiles. In it, he tells a tale of a gentlemen who could apparently identify any of his personal library books by smell alone. Amazing.
