Reading-
1. Stanley Park by Timothy Taylor- I read this when I was in Mongolia, but I had to read it again because it's so Vancouver centric. I enjoyed it a lot more the second time. It's a fun novel with a lot of layers. If you're interested in the restaurant trade and Vancouver, give this a go.
2. "A home at the end of the world" by Michael Cunningham- I savoured this one. It was great, full of dense, thick prose. I loved the story. I think it worked as a movie and as a film. Michael Cunningham creates great characters and can write believable female characters.
3. "The Joy of Writing" a literary memoir by Pierre Berton- Whipped through this today. There were a lot of great anecdotes about his writing and how he writes, funny stories about Can lit mavens and the way people react to books and writers, and lots of tips. I loved it, actually.
I've also been reading "Marketing for Dummies" because I'm trying to learn more about marketing. I have to read it in bits because I find it rather dry. I recently read "Guerilla Marketing for Writers", which I found much more useful and practical. If you have any other recommendations for marketing books that will not put me to sleep, please pass them my way.
