Happy mothers' day.
I'll leave out the commentary as to why this holiday's a mess in my own family of origin and focus on the good stuff. I know a lot of great moms, and they deserve it.

Gifts from seanersxp, chosen with great skill by his daddy:

• Chinese Cooking for Dummies (recommended by mamallama)
  
• The Diviners by Margaret Laurence
  
• Passport to World Band Radio 2004
  

A geek book, a lit book, a cookbook. They know me well.

We're also trying out the new electric fryingpan. My husband makes great hashbrowns. Mmmm.

Happy mothers' day to you too. :-)

The Diviners!

Yay! I adore that book! I really hope you enjoy it too. I think Margaret Lawrence is one of my favourite Canadian authors, though Margaret Atwood has written some good stuff as well.

Oh, I've read it before; I read it in OAC English. I've been wanting to reread it.

I'm not really keen on Margaret Atwood, personally. I find her poetry to be a lot more readable than her fiction, myself. I prefer Carol Shields and Douglas Coupland, as far as CanLit goes. And Margaret Laurence too.
