Chillin in the Arctic

Book list


	Alligator by Lisa Moore "There's only one life. There's not the life you are living and the life you might have lived." - Russel to Colleen p. 150

Children of My Heart by Gabrielle Roy Stories of a teenaged teacher on the Canadian prairies in the 1930's

	Jade Peony by Wayson Choy "Grandmother said that life itself was loss and pain and suffering."

	Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill "Childhood is the most valuable thing that's taken away from you in life."

	Natasha by David Bezmozgis Seems more like the author's memoirs than a book of short stories. But maybe that's the author's intent.. after all our lives ARE a series of short stories. Tapka, Natasha and Minyan were my favourites. Overall a great read...

	Song of Kahunsha My pick for Canada Reads 2007. Don't miss this one!!! Hope amidst hopelessness through the eyes of a child in Bombay India. WARNING: There are disturbing scenes

	Stanley Park by Timothy Taylor I'm not a lover of this book. My fave part is Jeremy's artistic revenge. In some places the connections are over explained and in others I'm left wondering what deeper meaning the author is trying to acheive.
