Missed Connections from the Coach House Spring 2011 Launch

At the Coach House Toronto Spring 2011 Launch, we encouraged the attendees to take part in our 'Book Launch Missed Connections.' If you saw or talked to someone you liked at the book launch – a fellow reader, an author, a publishing professional – but were too shy to tell them what you really wanted to say, our anonymous 'missed connections' box was your best friend.

Thom Vernon's Reading List, 2000-2010

I am one of those jerks who survey other people's bookshelves. I do my best to get sight of a pattern or a trail: Books for Dummies, Nietzsche, the Bible. I spy for social comfort and to discover common ground. Books hold our private and public intellectual bodies. They are the infrastructure of our lives.

Phineas Walsh's most-desired animal abilities

Super Animal Abilities I Would Like to Have
by Phineas Walsh (narrator of Amphibian)

Sometimes I think about all the different abilities non-human animals have for finding food and escaping predators. Then I start thinking about how I'd like to have some of those abilities for surviving in my own hostile environment, mainly school.

She was running low on quarters so she washed Him with a load of jeans, but she must have forgotten to check the pockets; when she took God out of the washing machine He was covered with little bits of Kleenex. This disappointed God. He wouldn’t look the True Believer in the eyes and He left the laundromat without saying goodbye.
