Sidelined by a busted toe and no internet, I started reading @Billbrowder’s Freezing Order last night. It was impossible to put down and I’ve just finished it. Everyone should read this!

@joshxsherman We have 0 overlap, though I have read as many if not more 😊 Currently nearing the end of Trust by Hernan Diaz: it’s excellent.

@JohnLorinc I hope you’ve read The Table Comes First by Adam Gopnik. It explains so well the history of the attitudes towards alcohol consumption in England vs continental europe. Ontario inherited the British model 😢

@kwittman @jaketapper @mobydickenergy For some atmospheric fiction, I recommend The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue. Don’t be fooled by the title. https://t.co/6D9qObfw8u

@nathankhensley @LawwsonKate I was disturbed by the “Canada doesn’t have many forests” line. Has the author ever flown over Canada? There’s been massive tree-planting, but Canada is a forested country. If you like fiction, I highly recommend Annie Proulx’s Barkskins. It even references forest management.
