Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley

I took this book out of the library for school, and then of course I had to re-read it. Have you read it? It's SO GOOD. It's one of the books that I usually list in my five top favourite books of all time*. I had read it only once, and at least 10 years ago, although I have read a lot of other Findley since then (He was Canadian, but of course, you knew that). Having re-read it, I'd say it's in my top three. Please read it and tell me what you think.

ps. A word of warning: this book is....uncomfortable at times.

pps. I didn't remember this at all until I just searched, but I have previously mentioned Timothy Findley in my blog twice already. Here in April 2010 and here in January 2009.

*Please have John Cusack read this line aloud to you.

I would list that in my list of favorite books too! I have read it around 5+ times. -Jen

It's been at least 10 years since I read it, but it's still one of my favourites...nice to hear that it's still great! I will have to read it again. - kir
