HeadSpeak says READ IT !!!

Just finished reading two awesome Newfoundland books.

First, "The Custodian of Paradise" - by Wayne Johnston I think WJ is now my favorite author. I read "The Colony of

Unrequited Dreams" twice. I don't know why. I guess I thought it would be less dull the second time around but it wasn't. I didn't hate the book, but it wasn't the greatest either. Once I heard about the latest work I had to pick it up because it was Sheilagh that made the first novel. The storyline is unbelievebly amazing and I enjoyed every single word of this book. Some complained it was too long, but not me. I savoured every bit right up to the end. Read this, trust me you won't be disappointed.

Sylvanus Now - by Donna Morrissey

Now onto book 2. While this book is not the same calibre as the above, it is still a very good book in its own right. I originally read "Kit's Law" by Morrissey several years and was very impressed. That is what lead me to pick up Sylvanus Now. The story is an endearing, and sweet love story taking place in a tiny isolated outport in the 1950's. The couple in the book are affected by the rise of fish plants and large trawlers, and a little something called "resettlement"! Another good read.

That's it for now. I'm currently reading "The Life of Pi" Yes, I'm the last person on the planet to read it! :-)
