Where are you? (in the book you are reading) - please read 1st post

I just witnessed three guys killing a men and together with my ten year old brother I am hiding in a barn at Kootenai Bay, Bonner County, Idaho. My name is Annie Taylor and I am 12.

Yes, indeed. Have you read it?

I'm currently in Paris, in 1851, trying to find the man who was the inspiration for the detective in many of Poe's stories.

I'm now still in Chicago, watching a wizard deal with his vampire half-brother and trying to keep a good friend from jail.
 
I'm reading Obasan by Joy Kogawa and am in the BC interior in 1942 with other Japanese Canadians in detention camps.
 
I'm in the midst of watching Iago creating a jealous rage in Othello. Someone absconded his woman's hanky!:eek:

Is that in the delicious Penguin Modern Classics (Canada) edition? I want - nay! - need that.
 
Steffee, I guess you are reading a Short History of Tractors in Ukranian?

I'm currently in Everett, US in a small apartment above a marine shop. I'm thinking that there are probably better places to be..

Is that a joke? I haven't read that... but oh no, I wasn't reading that. I'm not going to even admit what I was reading.

I'm now back in Dublin. It's most comfortable here.
 
Yes, it is a Penguin book, $2.99 at a local bookstore in paperback. I makes me cringe in shame being a Canadian-but that was the mentality in the 40's when we were at war. A quote from The Globe and Mail
"Obasan's power comes from the beauty of the writing,the stark imagery and vivid symbolism, and from the calm recitation of events that destroyed families, a culture and a way of life"
 
hmm.. I didn't realise so many books used Peterborough as a base! It just stuck in my head because I was reading A Short History (which was last years orange prize novel) recently when I was in Cambridge.
