Because cottage reading can never be too serious I chose How to be a Canadian to entertain me after an attempt at some of the other books I brought along failed leaving me bored out of my mind. It was hilarious. It had me in stitches, I actually laughed out loud at the jokes. I was particularly fond of the comparison of Tim Hortons and a religious cult and the chapter on 12 Ways to Say Sorry that ended with the statement "Canadians sure are sorry a lot, but they never apologize".
