I made my way down to Place Bonaventure this afternoon and took part in Montreal’s 2009 Salon du livre. Remembering what it was like last year, I knew I’d have to put up with throngs of people. So I braced myself and entered the massive showroom. Once inside, I marveled at all the booksellers and walked around taking it all in. You see, I’m a huge bibliophile. It’s like an addiction. I see certain books and I want them, usually I talk myself out of making purchases because I want to try finding them at the library first (saves$$). However, it’s tough to stop and I have a mounting collection of literature that I draw from time-to-time.
