So, it’s finally summer! Finally! Summer! And with a job I’m growing to love so far away from home (also my inability to drive) resulting in a 1.5+1.5 hours daily commute, my Kobo Touch is fast becoming my bestest friend ever. That and I compulsively bought eBooks online with every intent to read them, but no time, over the past academic year. Nevertheless, here we are! And here are the highlights of my list (some read, some in progress, all summer fun, in no specific order):

  1. Curses! A F**ked-Up Fairy Tale by J.A. Kazimer
  2. Harperland: The Politics of Control by Lawrence Martin
  3. Speaking Out Louder: Ideas That Work for Canadians by Jack Layton
  4. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  5. The Knights of Derbyshire by Marsha Altman
  6. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
  7. A Game of Thrones series by George R. R. Martin
  8. The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century by George Friedman
  9. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux
  10. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
  11. Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
  12. I Never Knew There Was A Word For It by Adam de Boinod
  13. Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learned at School… and Promptly Forgot by E. Foley
  14. Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
  15. I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

Wish me luck!

Also, any thoughts? More suggestions?

Weird contraption to straighten the nose bridge. I think.

No escaping hobo cop: New tactic aims to catch drivers using cellphones on the road
A scruffy looking man — hoodie up, clutching a tattered sign scrawled on a scrap of cardboard — shuffled up to a car at a busy intersection in this city west of Toronto. Drivers instinctively looked away.

But this sign’s wording was different from the usual begging appeal: “My name is Constable Mike Cairns. If you are reading this sign you are about to get a cell phone ticket.”

Across Canada over the past several weeks, police officers have been dressing as panhandlers and clutching cardboard signs to mimic the curbside come-ons in order to get close enough to see drivers using handheld phones while driving. (Photos: David Ritchi for National Post; Handout)
