If you live in, near, or are travelling to, Toronto, Monday February 28 is the day to take transit. Various personalities from the CBC and the Toronto Star will be boarding streetcars along Queen street between 10 and 11 am handing out a total of 500 free copies of Midnight at the Dragon Café by Judy Fong Bates. Every year, Toronto promotes a city-wide book club called (not surprisingly), One Book. This year's pick was chosen by the Toronto Public Library.
The book club is part of Toronto's month-long literary festival, Keep Toronto Reading. I think that bringing a city together around one book is a really inspiring idea, don't you? The book, itself, tells the story of a young Chinese girl growing up in small town Ontario, where her family owns the lone Chinese restaurant. Would you consider organizing something like this if your own city doesn't have its own book club? If you're more interested in meeting the celebrities, here's the list: CBC Radio's Laura Di Battista; the Star's Richard Ouzounian (boarding at Broadview); CBC News Toronto hosts Dwight Drummond and Anne-Marie Mediwake; the Star's Geoff Pevere (boarding at Yonge Street); CBC Radio's Matt Galloway and Catherine Porter from the Star (both boarding at Ossington).
