Drawn and Quarterly Montreal

Food for thoughts

""Drawn and Quarterly" in Montreal is now a world-famous bookstore specialized in classic and contemporary comics. Coming here, my addiction comes out..."

Yes I am addicted to books, it's a compulsory thing. I just gotta have them. So I try not to go to Drawn and Quarterly too often. They have what I need and more. I leave my credit card at home and take my better half with me to control my addiction, not an easy task. 

Located in the Mile-end district, this now world famous bookstore is specialized in classic and contemporary comics (thus the name) but the store also carries fine arts, cooking and fiction. That's everything I love in literature. They recently opened a sister store across the street, specialized in books for children, with a delectable selection.

Drawn and Quarterly is also a publishing company that has become one of the most influential art and literary comics publishers in North America. A must for the worm in you.

Montreal Olympic Park

Sleeping concrete scorpio

The "Montreal Olympic Park" is so big, you can never tell how close to it you are. Its retro-futuristic vibe reminds me of some kind of animal; a scorpion?
