During a very rushed visit to the library on the way to work tonight I picked up more books and music; to whit:
I renewed ‘The Autobiographer’s Handbook’ – edited by Jennifer Traig; a Holt paperback.
For reference I snagged the 2007 edition (17th) of ‘The Canadian Writer’s Market’, basically to see what’s out there. Published by McClelland & Stewart.
For sheer enjoyment Hunter S Thompson’s novel ‘The Rum Diary’. A Simon and Schuster publication. Highly recommended by Martin at hstbooks.org.

In the music section I found myself in front of a section containing all Canadian folk artists and bands so….
— Buffy Sainte-Marie’s 1996 compilation ‘Up Where We Belong’
— Soundtrack to the film ‘Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man’. Songs performed by various artists including Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Nick Cave, U2. (2006)
— k.d. lang’s 2008 release ‘Watershed’.
— Jeremy Fisher’s 2008 CD ‘Back Porch Spiritual’.
— ‘The Duhks’ 2008 ‘Fast Paced World’.
— Nanci Griffith’s 2005 ‘Hearts In Mind’.
I’m familiar with all these artists except Fisher but am looking forward to checking out all these releases.
