scary books
On Charlotte's suggestion I read Absolute Friends by John Le Carré. Holy scary political possibilities Batman! I've only read two of his books (that one and The Constant Gardener) but both contain incredible commentary on current world politics. Both highly recommended.
Also reading: Primary Colors (American political kick), The Tin Flute by Gabrielle Roy (takes place in my neighbourhood in Montreal!), Future: Tense by Gwynne Dyer (yet more world politics)and the rest of the same books I've had on the go for months.
In real life, in a couple of weeks I am attending a meeting of the humourously titled "All-Party and Multi-Faith Committee on Religious-Cultural Harmony" (the poor girl who had to call everyone with that mouthful!)on Parliament Hill. Representin' the Mennonites aw yeah.
