What is Stephen Harper reading?

One more post for today...

Many thanks to Richard at Smart Like Streetcar (link at right) for the heads up on this.

Novelist and Booker Prize winner Yann Martel has expressed his concern that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is less than enthusiastic about the arts. To prompt our leader to pull up a chair and read a book every now and again, Martel is sending him a book every second Monday.

The bi-weekly selections along with the accompanying letters are posted here .

It's a brilliant idea and well worth the read.

From all of us Yann, thanks.
