GuysRead Book Club: Suggested Reading
Annotation:The previously untold stories from behind the scenes of the 75 year history of the Canadian Broadcasting Company.
Annotation:A troubling look at agribusiness, told from the prespective of a small Canadian farm.
Annotation:A mostly sympathetic look at an oft criticised Canadian Prime Minister, R. B. Bennett, who also happens to be the only Canadian PM that was from New Brunswick. Although this book is poorly edited, Boyko offers us a unique perspective of Bennett.
Annotation:An epic tale of a time traveller who revists the day JFK was assassinated in an attempt to change the course of history.
Annotation:A collection of short, most are very short, stories. Written in the style of a Western, but above all written with a skilled, unique voice.
Annotation:A "modern classic" tells the story of friendship, betrayal and redemption set in Afghanistan.
Annotation:The story of how a group of young Tory MPs ousted British Prime Minister Chamberlain that made way for the Churchill era.
Annotation:Entertaining story set on the Mirimichi full of characters, places and themes that will ring true for New Brunswick readers yet also enjoyed by outsiders. All three of the Brennen Siding Trilogy packed into one edition.
Annotation:The Telegraph-Journal said this is the best book of 2012 by an NB author. At the age of 24 Stephenson presents an impressive debut novel. (Available in print or ebook format.)
Annotation:Discussion of faith and religion based on two series of conversations - one with a rabbi, the other with a Protestant minister.
Annotation:A personal story that sheds light on the contenious Israeli-Palestinian history.
Annotation:Fascinating but bizarre, true story of how the Allied Forces fooled the Nazis into believing their course of attack was different than what they had planned. Operation Mincemeat has received high critical praise.
Annotation:The book that was pitched is not yet available via NB libraries - "An Economist Gets Lunch" by Tyler Cowen. This entry links to an adapted exerpt from the book that appeared in the May 2012 issue of The Atlantic.
