Wow - impressive. Where in TO did you go to high school? We never got anything close to that. It was all Fifth Business and Margaret Atwood for us.

Bishop Allen. Its on Royal York south of Bloor St. Both were for a course called "The Quest" that the teacher wrote himself. Possibly the smartest man I've ever known, far better teacher than any university profs I've had. And the course was amazing. In addition to those two books we read The Fall by Camus, Siddhartha by Hesse, Night by Wiesel, and Waiting for Godot. Best class I've ever taken.
