  • I Used to Think Reading Was "Lame" and "Boring". MTV Really Messed Us up :P Then I Read One Book
    I used to think reading was "lame" and "boring". MTV really messed us up :P Then I read one book.... it changed my life... so I read another... it changed again... so I read another and then another. The process continued on until I became a whole new animal. Books have made my life better in every possible way from mental growth to physical and spiritual growth. Because of their immense effect on my life, I want to share the books I have read with people so they can start growing and taking control of their lives. I want you to become the best person you can possibly be! I figure that the books I've read, that have made my life better, can 100% make your life better! If you don't know where to start, pick a book from my list! If I have read it more than once, it was for a reason. You probably don't think you have time to read books. That's okay though, because I prove that's not true at all. You have time to read if you use the smart tricks I show you at the bottom of this page.

  • Robert Kroetsch and Aritha Van Herk on Writing & Reading Gender and Genres
    J'nan Morse Sellery Robert Kroetsch and Aritha van Herk o n Writing & Reading Gender and Genres An Interview Introduction Knowing each other as creative writers, teachers, critics, and performers, and both coming from families who immigrated to w e s t e r n Canada to farm in Alberta near the B a t t l e River, Robert Kroetsch and Aritha van Herk write about each other's intertextual allusions, disguises, and voices inviting us to remember other tales, expressions, and c u s t o m s that extend their stories with our o w n . In a consistent effort to avoid confession or autobiography, they keep the p e r s o n a l private and the public connected to texts and c o n - texts. They question the a s s u m p t i o n s of m a s t er narratives while leaving lacunae—of what goes without saying—with the i n t e n t to test and text themselves. In answering his own question of "how do we live a life and be a writer," Kroetsch suggests the writer has to make a b a r g a i n with him or her- self.1 Who does the writing, and who the living? Their stories implicate other stories revealing the c o m p l e x i t y of their writing lives. Their work emphasizes contemporary western Canadian themes a n d tropes of m a p s , geography, travel, landscape and how the m e n and women confront life in these physical and mythical territories.
