Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

Margaret Atwood is the first that comes to mind... I've enjoyed all that I've read by her!

Life of Pi by Yann Martel is another popular one.

I'm a sucker for Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery too.

I had to look up top Canadian Authors to see what/who I've read, and I discovered one of my favorite recent YA fantasy authors lives in BC... Rachel Heartman (although she was born in the US so I don't know if that counts, lol).
