Fiction - Wildcard: Microserfs - Douglas Coupland (a fiction view of Microsoft)
Historical: The Invasion of Canada - Pierre Berton The first of 2 books discussing the War of 1812. It was a messy affair, with way too much war mongering and incompetence)
Picture/Coffee Table: The Canadian Rockies, A History in Photographs - Graeme Pole
Non-Fiction Wildcard - The National Dream - Pierre Berton (because you can't know too much about your own country!)
Cooking: The Cromarty Cookbook - Cromarty UCW This is a book my late grandmother's church group assembled for a fund raising initiative in the early 70s. If you want the best recipes for standard country cooking, this is the place to find it (although it had the one run and hasn't been in print for almost 40 years).
And I don't have any travel books, so if someone wants to make suggestions, feel free.
PS: I think the spreadsheet is up to date. Let me know of any errors/omissions. Sorry for the delay.
