MARLENE THORNE, a self-described book nerd, opened the bar Famous Last Words in October. The literary-themed watering hole, located in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood, has already become a local favourite, hosting readings and offering a welcoming home to book clubs. “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been reading incessantly,” Thorne says. “There was something about a combination of books and cocktails that appealed to me. There really wasn’t any more to it than that.”
