We only share one book! but i used to live in Toronto and wish i had become a landed immigrant while i had the best opportunity. Such is life it is what it is, as they say, and life has led me elsewhere i guess, but Toronto remains a part of me (tho not so much a part of my library it seems). I am exploring your LT catalogue with interest.

I am very interested in getting your book once it is out. You will have to remind me to go out and get it.

There is a little plant called reverence in the corner of my soul's garden,
which I love to have watered once a week.

I see that you have read a book by [John Robert Colombo] Did you know he just registered with LT and you can be one of the first to send him a message or add him as your friend?

You can find him under "jrc"

If you have any trouble get back to me.

Hello,
Thank you for adding me to your Interesting Librairies. I have been to your Imagining Toronto homepage and find it very interesting!

Amy,

My name is Dawn and I am the librarian for Book Buzz (here on LibraryThing and for Toronto Public Library). I just wanted to let you know that we are featuring Consolation as our first One Book, One City programme and I embedded a link to your excellent "Imagining Toronto Library" website.

I hope that's ok with you - I'd like our readers to expand their awareness of Toronto Lit, but also to more broadly consider the themes of Michael Redhill's novel.

Here's the link to the page (it will become our front page on Feb 1): http://bookbuzz.torontopubliclibrary.ca/Featured_Books/February_Book.html

Many thanks,
Dawn

Thanks for the welcome! And I'll check out the site shortly.

Yeah, that's it.

Robert Charles Wilson lives in Toronto, and at least some of his short stories are set there. See "The Perseids and Other Stories."

It's a picture book, but my girls love The Cat and the Wizard by Dennis Lee. It's set in Casa Loma.

Chris has at least one s/f novel set in Toronto (IIRC, the ROM is prominently featured). For the life of me, I cannot remeber the author; I'll find out later, when everyone is up

I'm almost scared to see how many books you have when you're finished cataloging. :) I've got most of the kids' books done (but only a few picture books), but only a handful our own.

Did you read "Stiff," by Mary Roach?
