Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the Guelph Reads blog. Guelph Reads is a public debate that sets out to answer the question "which book should everyone in Guelph read?" We've picked four prominent Guelphies, who picked four books. On April 26, they'll be arguing why you should read their book.

In the running:
28: Stories of AIDS in Africa, defended by AIDS activist and doctor Anne-Marie Zajdlik
Walden, defended by chief librarian Norm McLeod
Urban Meltown: Cities, Climate Change and Politics as Usual, defended by writer and politician Tom King
I Write What I Like, defended by novelist Rozena Maart

In this space, we'll discuss (hopefully with your help) each of these books and how they can act as an impetus for social change.

So, happy reading.
