I find the big-box bookstores overwhelming. There’s too much choice. For someone who tends to be a little indecisive too much choice is like…well, I can’t think of an inoffensive simile so…something bad for me. I need a jumping off point. So I am always interested in what other people are reading. I may not end up reading it but it gives me a place to start looking.
What’s on my night-table right now?
- Bernice Morgan’s Cloud of Bone – three novellas really masquerading as a novel. The novellas are tied together by themes on loss and memory.
- Ken Follett’s World Without End – the sequel to the massively successful Pillars of the Earth.
- The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in New Brunswick (Human Rights Commission) v. Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., 2008 SCC 45 – dealing with mandatory retirement under the terms of a bona fide pension plan under Nova Scotia’s Human Rights Act, and the proper intepretation of human rights legislation.
