The Jade Peony, by Wayson Choy
Because: It's on the Canada Reads list, and I like knowing the books they're talking about.
Notes: a copy that I found on the bookshelf that I clearly brought home from my parents, long ago.

The Chicago Way
The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey
Finished: January 9th
Because: recommended by Al
Notes: picked it up at the library
Comments: Tries really hard to be a hard-nosed detective. This is the first book, and the author got rid of several characters I'd have thought would stick around for recurrent cameos in the series.
