It’s +9.5C in the East End of #Toronto, the Sun is shining, and the snow is melting. Time to get out walking, raiding #littlelibraries and finding surprising #books in them … #Ethics #AlainBadiou

Flame ombré lettering! Dramatic rescues from ice holes! Sinister old men and gun-toting baddies, mountaintop gondolas and explosions! Now that’s what I call an exciting book cover. From 1983. #littlelibraries #adventure #bookstodon

First edition of BC author Jane Rule’s “The Young in One Another’s Arms” (1977). Despite its suggestive title and its distinction as an early lesbian novel, with characters on the run from serving in the war in Vietnam, the cover is so so so boring. Some people find the novel boring as well. #littlelibraries #sapphicbooks #canlit

Someone in the neighborhood must have had a serious collection of classic books about early women doctors, because I see books like this one turn up regularly in the #littlelibraries. Judging from photos, the real Dr Emily Dunning Barringer didn’t have such a magnificent pompadour. Sad that they left Dr Barringer’s hard-earned title out of the book title. Fuck the patriarchy. #medhistory #womensbiographies

Reportedly, Sicilian Carousel is one of Durrell’s more boring books. At least the cover is exciting! I love the pink wheel against the lime green field, and the bright yellow accents. From 1977. The #littlelibraries around me are always filled with Durrell books. #bookcover #Books #travelbooks #sicily

I was disappointed in the paucity of pictures in this pictorial Persian dictionary. That’s why I still don’t know Farsi. #dictionary #littlelibraries
