A compendium of 101 book recommendations from Booker Prize-winning author Yann Martel ( Life of Pi ) to Prime Minister Stephen Harper--each with an accompanying letter, together probing the question: what sort of mind, nourished by what, do we want our leaders to have? Politely and unfailingly, every two weeks for almost four years, Yann Martel sent Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper a book and accompanying letter. He completed the project in 2011 with 101 book recommendations. Now, from the mailbox of the Prime Minister's Office to your bookshelf comes a list of essential reading for all Canadians. This largely one-sided correspondence from the "loneliest book club in the world" (Stephen Harper never personally responded to Yann Martel's gifts) is a valuable compendium for bibliophiles and those who follow the Canadian political scene. Smart, subversive, signed, sealed, and now available to you . . . even if your address is not 80 Wellington Street.
