I read In the Skin of a Lion, and, after the initial 'getting used to the author's writing style' period that I always go through, it was completely mesmerizing. I would recommend it to anyone.

The one who waded through a cold creek to deliver Christmas presents to Laura and Mary? I couldn't stand Nelly's guts! -------------------- Have a blessed day!...Rachel stable and sooooooo thankful!

It was funny at first....20 minutes later it was still happening I became annoyed. The short version of the story is we got free passes for another time. I know I will be buying the DVD so we didn't worry about it much. My sister told me that Narnia was more impactful than the Passion of the Christ for her. My experience was opposite of hers but...both movies are awesome! -------------------- Have a blessed day!...Rachel stable and sooooooo thankful! I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

He is such a powerful writer. Have you read anything else of his? In the Skin of the Lion is definitely my favourite also, but I was also really struck by Anil's Ghost, which is Sri Lanka, where Ondaatje is from. I've also read his collection of short stories, the Cinnamon Peeler, and Coming Through the Slaughter - which was just... wow. Powerful, that's for sure. Different, definitely takes some getting useful. But definitely powerful.

I love Hemingway(so factual and raw), love Atwood (yeah canadian fembots-she's got wild writing.) and my two fave books are The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, and the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...

If you want another good canuck lit story, you have to read these two: Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry (or A Fine balance) and then...The Roaring Girl by greg Hollingshead. He was a prof at the U of A I think. Nice guy. I was in my B.A of English before i branched off just a bit into B.Ed.These are both books I read in uni. and loved. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...
