This year's picks are:
Rockbound, by Frank Parker Day, tells the story of a fisherman who tries to find his way off the coast of Nova Scotia. Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake is a work of science fiction. Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers is the most controversial (I read it as a teenager but I'd probably be shocked by it now). Volkswagen Blues, a road story by Jacques Poulin and No Crystal Stair, a multi-cultural coming of age story by Mairuth Sarsfield round off a very eclectic list.
Panellists are Donna Morrissey, Olivia Chow ,Roch Carrier, Molly Johnson and Sherraine MacKay.
