Wrestling star (and local Winnipeg boy) Chris Jericho will be at our Grant Park location in Winnipeg on Thursday, November 15. He'll be reading, signing and answering questions about his new book A Lion’s Tale: Around the World in Spandex.

You might think that this is another one of those big name entertainment confessional type books. I did- but then I saw this interview on bookvideos.tv. Jericho (who studied journalism early on) is delightful as he compares wrestling entertainment to Shakepeare and his autobiography to War and Peace and The Catcher in the Rye. The slight twinkle in his eye as he does so lets us all in on what he's up to- and that he's got a sense of humour every Winnipegger will recognize as home-grown.

Too bad the cover-art doesn't get this across.

David Gilmour will be at our Grant Park location in Winnipeg on October 9 to read from and sign his new book, The Film Club. The book, deals with Gilmour's decision to allow his son to quit school on the condition that they watch three films together per week of the paterfamilias's choosing.

Thomas Allen and Sons, the book's publisher, has kindly provided us with a video clip of David and his son, Jesse, discussing the book.

Choice quote from Jesse Gilmour on the origin of the book:

"After his last novel was published, he expressed that his idea for the next novel would be about what happens when you break up with a woman. [...] I said that I kind of think that's what all your novels have been about."
