For those of you keeping count, we’re only four Fridays away from the end of classes. While that might seem like the longest wait ever, November happens to be one of the busiest times of the year for the Windsor cultural scene, which might make the wait a little easier.

BookFest is one of the best parts of November. BookFest Windsor is an annual event celebrating all kinds of literature with readings, workshops, panel discussions, and much more. Over the years, it’s drawn hundreds of award winning authors from all over Canada and the world. This year BookFest just happens to feature Margaret Atwood, one of Canada’s most famous authors. Which is kind of awesome. Here’s an interview Atwood and George Stroumboulopoulos from the CBC:

Sure, you’ve probably had just about enough of reading and books right about now. Once upon a time, we were all eager readers, like this fuzz ball, but reading textbooks, compiling research, and grading papers have a tendency to suck all the fun out of reading. Most academics will tell you that you need to find time for enjoyable reading in between all the reading you do for your studies. So if you’re looking to take your mind off of your work and put the fun back into reading, BookFest Windsor is where you’ll want to be this weekend.
