"As always, I am reading several books at once:
Dear Life by Alice Munro who never disappoints.
To the Spring, by Night by Seyhmus Dagtekin. This is a book which we are to publish in March 2013 and I started to read it out of sense of professional obligation but I have been seduced into finishing it. Wonderful and a superlative translation from the French by Don Winkler. This is one I am reading on my IPad.
I am rereading Somewhere towards the End by Diana Athill for my bookclub. Athill is an elegant stylist, modest, yet incisive, as all good editors are.
And I next want to read Far from the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity by Andrew Solomon."
Susan McIntosh, Marketing Director
"The Universe Within by Neil Turok, published by House of Anansi for their CBC Massey Lectures."
Adrian Galwin, Rights, Permissions and Special Projects
"Waging Heavy Peace by Neil Young. I'm also reading Peter Trent's The Merger Delusion. It's well-written, engaging, informative, and I'm learning a lot about my adopted home. Steinbeck's To a God Unknown is also something that's always on my nightstand."
Jacqui Davis, Publicist
Retrato en Sepia by Isabel Allende
Sarah Bartsch, Editorial Assistant
"I am reading King, by John Berger, which I’ve read before, and on the plane last night I started reading Shock Wave, by John Sandford. These are quite different books."
Jack Hannan, Sales Manager
"Oh I forgot, I am also reading the second volume of Susan Sontag’s journals, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh, and it’s great."
Jack Hannan, Sales Manager
