• Peart's book recommendations from 2004: "Among many favourites this year, from John Barth's The Book of Ten Nights and a Night to Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, I would have to choose The Big Year by Mark Obmascik, a non-fiction tale of epic sweep and depth about a competition among, of all people, birdwatchers....A few others I can't resist recommending: Louis Riel by Chester Brown, French Revolutions by Tim Moore, The Inner Circle by T. C. Boyle and Middlemarch by George Eliot." - Neil Peart, Toronto Globe and Mail, Dec. 24, 2004
