The art of weekend reading

Reading is good any time, but it's at its best when you can stretch it out over hours without interruption in the comfort of your home or cottage. In other words, on weekends.

This weekend, HarperCollinsCanada is launching a new imprint aimed at the weekend book warrior. HarperWeekend takes previously published titles and repurposes them for the cottage and armchair crowd. The publisher is holding launches in Toronto and Vancouver this weekend; you can find more information here.

To mark the occasion on Globe Books, four writers from the new imprint offer up their takes on the magic of weekend reading. You can read their essays by clicking on the links below.
