2010 Canada Reads: Panelists have spoken. Do you agree?
On yesterday's broadcast, heard live on CBC Radio One at 11:30 a.m., and repeated at 7:30 p.m., the 2010 panelists voted for Nikolski by Nicholas Dickner.
Who do you think Canada should read?:
Nikolski by Nicholas Dickner, defended by Michel Vezina [Winner of the 2010 Canada Reads]
Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald, defended by Perdita Felicien
Generation X by Douglas Coupland, defended by Ronald Pemberton (aka Cadence Weapon)
Good to a Fault by Marina Endicott, defended by Simi Sara
The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy, defended by Samantha Nutt
And not just because Perdita is a local girl, but because I think that book is a great read. However, I haven't read the winner, nor Good to a Fault . . . .
If you haven't read Fall on your Knees, do yourself a favour and get it. It is long, but it is not as dark and gloomy as you would think from just hearing it described.
