The Buzz...About Books

On October 1 at 2 pm, Toronto band Hooded Fang will be performing at Sanderson Library as part of our Make Some Noise concert series.  Each member of the band was kind enough to compile a list of their favourite books for us.  In fact they offered so many great suggestions that it won't all fit into one blog post.  Part two of the Hooded Fang Reading List will be posted tomorrow.
