Canada Reads

http://www.cbc.ca/books/canadareads/

Very exciting news, CBC has announced the line up for Canada Reads 2010!
I've been following this literary contest for the past few years and made a special point to read the 2009, 2008, 2007 winning books, and a few of the other contenders. One of my long term goals is it read all of the winning books, going back to 2002 when "In the Skin of a Lion" by Michael Ondaatje won and eventually all of the contenders. But for now I think I'll try to read all of this years contenders prior to the debates which start in March. I better hit up the library for my requests now before the wait list gets too long.

Good to a Fault, by Marina Endicott
Nikolski, by Nicolas Dickner
Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, by Douglas Coupland
The Jade Peony, by Wayson Choy
aFall on Your Knees, by Ann-Marie MacDonald

At least I've already got one of the five books read, but it does deserve a re-read. Anyone going to join me in my personal challenge?
