Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
On the NightTable
Karen Botting
Retired Winnipeg educator and 2012 YWCA Woman of Distinction
"Right now, I am reading God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, by Christopher Hitchens. This was the selection of our book club, which has been going for 35 years with the same 10 people, so I am really looking forward to a very lively discussion. Also, I recently finished reading The Shadow of the Wind, a novel set in Barcelona, by Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It was recommended to me by a fellow traveller from Europe, where it was a bestseller. For me, it was one of those books that was hard to put down as it was filled with intrigue, love and revenge."
