When you first move to the neighbourhood, the grounds of the Winnipeg Legislature are as good as any place to spend a Sunday afternoon.
For her first time visiting the area, Pam Stewart brought a notebook, pen, camera, lunch and Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas by Tom Robbins from the library.
What is the book about?
"I just started reading it, and right now it is about a stock market crash."
What made you choose this book?
"The author was recommended to me by a few people."
Would you recommend it?
"Even though I am not far into it yet, I would simply because of the absurd language."
What is your favourite genre to read?
Searching for the right word to describe it, Pam said her favourite genre of literature would be the equivalent to drama. She thoroughly enjoys books written by women, especially when female authors write about human relationships.
A shot of Pam enjoying her book.
"I usually stick to female writers because I want to read something I can relate to,” she explained. “I wouldn't normally read a book written by a dude, but this book has a female lead."
Why do you love to read?
"It gives me ideas as a writer," said Pam, who writes short fiction and has studied creative writing.
A new THIN AIR streeter takes place right on the streets of Winnipeg every week. Next time, we could be walking up to YOU and asking questions about your book selections. Be ready!
