The final London Reads book event for the 2010 season is today (March 11) featuring The Outlander, by Gil Adamson.
Winner of the 2007 Amazon.ca First Novel Award, the merits of Adamson’s tale will be debated by Rogers Television News Director Bob Smith and University of Western Ontario Writer-in-Residence Penn Kemp.
The event begins at 7 p.m. in the Stevenson & Hunt Room, Central Library (251 Dundas St.).
A grand finale event will be held in April and will feature all three authors.
Presented by Alumni Western, London Reads was originally launched as Western Reads, part of The University of Western Ontario’s 125th anniversary celebrations in 2003. Alumni Western’s partners in London Reads are the Book Store at Western and the London Public Library.
London Reads promotes Canadian authors and the importance of literacy. The program invites the entire London community to read along with and engage local celebrity panelists as they consider and debate the merits of various works of Canadian fiction.
