Ever wonder what book is feeding your favourite musicians head? Wilfrid Laurier University student Chris DePaul created foundinthemargins.com with a mission to make books cool again. "I got the idea during a time when I was listening to a lot of music that was very lyrically dense, DePaul says.

Since launching the site in April 2006, DePaul has received enthusiastic responses from the likes of the Strokes Nikolai Fraiture, Tokyo Police Club, Tegan & Sara, and many more. And so far, works by Dostoevsky, Steinbeck, and Kerouac are the page-turners most commonly found on the floor of the tour van.
