Harbourfront’s International Festival of Authors has officially kicked off, and the Toronto Life website is marking the occasion with “Reader’s Choice,” a feature in which six authors who are appearing at the fest list some of their all-time favourite books. Representing Canada are Governor of the Northern Province author Randy Boyagoda (whose picks include books by Bellow, Gallant, and St. Augustine) and De Niro’s Game author Rawi Hage, whose choices range from Knut Hamsun’s Hunger all the way to the Asterix et Obelix comics.
