@cherylynlarking1914 years agoa great introduction to Canadian literature. Concise, informative and interesting . Thanks for the heads up . I will be recommending some to my book group. 1
@
@Prairielily044 years agoA great list with a lot of choices for every taste! I am more of a mainstream reader so I likely would not read most of your list. I just picked up Small Game Hunting and will read one of Richard Wagamese’s books for the week! Miriam Toews is my favourite Canadian author! Thanks for this! 🇨🇦🙋♀️📚🌾 ...1
@
@elizabeth-betsyjohnson71954 years agoi could listen to you talk about books all day. I'll be checking out at least 6 of those mentioned. appreciate the time involved in pulling these videos together so thank you for all of the recommendations! 😁
@
@marie-joseedrolet96554 years agoJust a week! It’s not long enough for this challenge, it would have to last all August. And I really appreciated that you pronounce "Québécois" and not "Quebecers". Thank you and thank you for these recommendations.😊 ...1
@
@IvyTran134 years agoI definitely need to read some more indigenous reads! Thank you for the recommendations. The only canlit I’ve read was Vi by Kim Thuy, which I totally recommend if you haven’t read it!
@
@distant_sounds4 years agoGreat video. I want so many of those books. Beware I don't break in and steal them all :P Canlit is my favourite of all countries. You have some amazing authors up there. Still sucks so much that Richard Wagamese is no longer with us. ...
@
@lsu12224 years agoDo you like Joyce Carol Oates? I recommend Blonde, a incredible novel! And I loved this video, so glad to hear about canadian literature! 1
@
@TheQuietMidden4 years agoReally great Canadian book list! Nice to see. I just finished The North-West is Our Mother by Jean Teillet. It was excellent. Would recommend. :) Oh, and yeah, the CR debates were messy this year. Yikes. Was rooting for Small Game Hunting. ...

@JHarder10004 years agoThis is fascinating. Iam an American who loves Canada and its culture., and I believe Americans should know more about the literature of their northern neighbor.

@KnowledgelostOrgOnline4 years agoI have been terrible at commenting on videos, problem with watch later and iPad watching. I’m also commenting here because I was hoping for more Canadian translations here, I loved The Dishwasher and have read two other great French Canadian novels this year... but I need more. I was recommended Songs for the Cold of Heart (The American Fiancée) by Èric Dupont (translated by Peter McCambridge) but August is so that won’t happen soon. ...
@
@esunsalmista4 years agoI’m such a slow reader, it would have been much easier to hear that I could discard an entire country’s literature. That really would have been good news. Now I’ll have to add some of these to my TBR. 👎/👍 Might compromise and listen to a couple of them even though audiobooks make me feel dirty. 😀 ...
@
@booksoverbreakfast4 years agoI love hearing about the books selected for Canada reads but I can’t stand the debates. They’re always so messy!
@
@felixarquer77324 years agoWhen you say that “Canada is a bilingual country” you are leaving out all the indigenous languages, which (just like the fact that only French and English are official) is a serious discrimination. Also, when discussing indigenous authors, I think it should be made explicit whether any of them originally write in their indigenous language. Indigenous languages matter. ...2
@
@JHarder10004 years agoSorry, but where are the Canadian classics? Two Solitudes, And This I My Beloved, Creighton's Life Of McDonald, The Watch That Ends The Night, Lament For A Nation, Time As History, All of Leacock. White Oaks OF Jalna, Beautiful Losers, The Malaise Of Modernity, The Distemper Of our Times, Barometer Rising, That Summer In Paris, etc.? ...
