Great Summer Reading

I went back to my folks’ place in Campbell River last weekend for a few days of golf and some quality family time. To get to Campbell River, which is on Vancouver Island, from Vancouver you take a ride on BC Ferries.
Whenever I take the ferry I pick up a couple of magazines to read while I drink a combination of half hot chocolate and half coffee from the snack bar. On this most recent trip home I bought two magazines, the latest issue of Wired and The Walrus Magazine.
I was very impressed with The Walrus Magazine. It was their “Summer Reading Edition” and there are very few ads - almost every page is full text. I’ve already spent over two hours with the magazine and there’s still a lot for me left to read.
I’ll definitely be picking up The Walrus again.
Featuring memoirs by David Gilmour on Tolstoy and love, Xujun Eberlein on the Cultural Revolution, and Gail Gallant on growing up Catholic
