Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

These are all obvious choices, but William Gibson, Margaret Atwood, Douglas Copeland and Cory Doctorow.

GIBSON IS CANADIAN? AND DOCTOROW!?

Damn I had no idea

Gibson is from Vancouver. Doctorow is from Toronto.

Speaking of which, if you haven't checked out Gibson's recent work, The Peripheral is absolutely incredible. Gibson in peak form.
