WHAT ARE THE CANADIANS READING, EH?

I've traveled to Toronto a few times on business and a few times for pleasure as well. My first trip there was when I was 14 years old. My last trip there was about 5 years ago to see an exhibit of Egyptian art from The Old Kingdom at the ROM. The Royal Ontario Museum is a fascinating place, and usually has world-class exhibits. The Egyptian art exhibit I viewed was shown only at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC, the Louvre in Paris, and at the ROM. One of the features of the exhibit were several pieces which showed a man standing next to a woman with his arm around her shoulders or the woman with her arm around the man's waist. Nowhere else in ancient sculpture do you find public displays of affection like you do repeatedly in Egyptian art.

Toronto is a very dynamic city. It's miles long lake-shore park is wonderful. I keep in touch by receiving the weekly electronic version of "The Star", Toronto's leading newspaper. The Star has extensive coverage of books and what Canadians are currently reading. Check it out at: http://www.thestar.com/artsentertainment/books
