As I might have mentioned previously, I have been reading quite a bit lately. I finished ‘The Colony of Unrequited Dreams’ and I must say that I enjoyed it. Very much like ‘In the Skin of the Lion’ this books takes a piece of Canadian history and attaches a story to it.

Partially because of the hype and curiosity inspired by recent cinematic overtures, and partially for change of pace, I have decided to take a short break from Canadian fiction and picked up Jane Austen’s ‘Mansfield Park’. I’ve seen the movie few years ago so I wanted to compare the two. Though movie did add a few juicy details about minor characters not detected in the book, it was otherwise spot on. I read book quickly enough to judge it enjoyable so I just might read a few more of Austen’s works.
