A book that can only be... a book

I read -and absolutly loved- Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely loud and incredibly close" novel last year.  It's the rare kind of story that tends to stick with you for a while after you've read it.  The unique way of approaching the world and the refreshing naiveness of the main carracter makes you want to see life in a different light.

Now the author has transposed that vision into a book, literally! "Tree of codes" is a unique hybrid between a sculpture and a book. Spaces from the pages are cutted out, showing words from other pages to complete the story. Making it a experience that can't be translated for technology, an important aspect to Foer's latest work. The author was quoted in the New-York Magazine saying "“I think there’s going to be something that happens now, where books move in two directions, one toward digitized formats and one toward remembering what’s nice about the physicality of them.” 


For my part,  the actual book is a one of my favorite things about reading. There's someting about picking it up, turning the pages, seeing the left side grow bigger as the story unfolds... and fearing how little time there is to spend with the carracters as the right side becomes smaller and smaller... I just love it!  What about you? Are you part of the kindle-iPad reading book club?

I am wating for my copy, I'll let you know what I think soon!

100th women's day!

Let's keep behaving in a way that encourages women everywhere. Let's make choices, big or small, that aims towards an equal world. Let's get each other's back so women everywhere don't have to be strong, and can just be free.

Bring your own... Food!

There's a newbie on the plateau scene! It's a tiny, sort of hidden, bar on rachel called  the A Bar.
The decor is very simple and nice, in the trendy rustic-urban theme we are seeing more and more of.
But what most caught my attention, were the people coming in with their own dinner, cheeses and so on. You can even have food delivered there!
What a good idea, next time, we'll go with a baguette and delicious Riopelle cheese for a perfect happy hour!

Victor's music pick of the week

Victor likes acoustic music. Victor admires raw talent.Victor thinks the Montreal music is awesome. Victor thinks that Stars are an incredible band. Victors doesn't like it when I call them The Stars. :)
 Here' what he had to say:

"Taking nothing away from Grammy award winning Arcade Fire, I still think Stars make the best music coming from Montreal these days.  Known more for their big sound, they are clearly just as comfortable jamming in an office.  The NPR Tiny Desk Concert series strikes again!  PS - if you're watching other Tiny Desk Concerts, check out Tom Jones'  from a couple years ago... awesome." -Victor

Fancy that!
