There is a new Canada Reads contest on CBC Radio One that features past champions - not the champion books but the champion book defenders. This year's list of panelists and the books that they are defending are as follows:
Steven Page - Natasha and Other Stories by David Bezmozgis
Donna Morrissey - The Song of Kahunsha by Anosh Irani
John K. Sampson - Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill
Denise Bombardier - Children of my Heart by Gabrielle Roy
Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo, whoo!) - Stanley Park by Timothy Taylor
All the books being debated are available from the Cumberland Regional Library.
The debate started this past Monday and will continue in the weeks ahead. If you miss it on the radio, you should be able to listen to it online. Supposedly (the link on the main Canada Reads page doesn't appear to be working yet).
