Amazingly, I made it through an entire weekend and only watched one movie. I have been doing a lot more reading instead. Aside from my listed Handmaid's Tale, I have also been reading a comic book novel, called V for Vendetta. This is certainly a departure for me, as I have never picked up a comic book to read before, with one exception, the Legend of Batman. It is a fantastic read, with many of the effects of watching a movie, I have found. The author has used dialogue and illustrations together to excellent effect.
I have also been reading Fugative Pieces, by Anne Michaels. Beautifully written, I am quite enjoying it. I found an interesting page for my fellow Can Lit lovers. The CBC seems to be hosting a dialogue about which Canadian novel every Canadian should read. I was happy to see that I had read many of the books on the list, with a few notable exceptions which I hope to remedy in the near future.
Well, I may soon be heading up north, no really up north to Thunder Bay. I have relatives living and dead up there, so I will be paying a visit. I may not be adding to this until I return, but until then, this is Sumaarsita signing off saying, Canada is Really Big!
