Overview
Welcome to the David Maxwell Memorial Reading Challenge!
Make yourself a cup of David-style coffee: not too strong, with a generous-leaning-to-excessive helping of sugar or maple syrup, and more milk swirled in than seems reasonable.
Settle in and read your way to memories and connection.
This reading challenge has been created by me, Tiffany Sostar, David’s oldest child, in honour of dad and as a way to invite friends, family, and community to reflect on memories shared with David and to create new memories and experiences connected to David.
This reading challenge has a bias. It reflects my story with my dad, and it highlights the parts of dad’s story that were most impactful in my own life. It’s a gift from me to him, and to you.
There are other stories of dad’s life, and perhaps there are categories of reading missing that would help reflect the nuance and complexity of David Maxwell’s personhood and experience.
Prompt categories 1-9 are based on locations that dad either spent time in or planned to.
Categories 10-14 are genres he particularly enjoyed.
Categories 15-29 represent an action dad took to either take a stand in solidarity with a targeted community, or to take a stand for his own beliefs and values.
And the last set of categories are specific books or series that he loved and would often recommend to others.
