Could I have a show of hands of lurkers? I'd take attendance, but ... well, obviously....

The review is by Christopher Hitchens whom I usually find of interest. He doesnt fail here. This article was compliments of one of the members of my vast lurker-staff. He adds that even though Steyn is or was a Canadian citizen and his book is #6 on Canadas best seller list, you cannot buy the book in a Canadian book store. Presumably it reached #6 through the benefit of Amazon.com and its like. But is this true? Have Canadian book stores refused to stock Steyns book and created what is in effect a Canadian book ban? it's available at Chapters -- probably THE biggest bookseller in Canada. So I don't know where you got your info. Paul ########## Paul Stone pas@xxxxxxxx Kingsville, ON, Canada
