The Jade Peony was one of the only books compulsory in high school that I ever re-read again as an adult. Beautiful book!

Hmm… I should probably name most Coupland books, and I just got City of Glass from my boyfriends father over the holidays in preparation for my move to the city a few weeks ago from the Eastern Time Zone… but I haven’t read it yet…

So I’ll have to go with Vancouver Matters. Great book… Really beautiful…

I’ll always love the children’s book “Putting up with Mitchell” by Sarah Ellis. Somehow it manages to encapsulate everything I loved about growing up here.

Is it kind of silly that I already own the City Walks cards AND a Lonely Planet book about Vancouver? My favourite Vancouver book is definitely City of Glass.

City of Glass. No other book as great in my humble opinion.

I have to agree with #13 City of Glass by Douglas Coupland was great!
