is the title of an excellent book Santa brought to this house this last Christmas. By Yann Martel, the Canadian writer of Life of Pi. Yann Martel was at a, part of, a tribute for the Canada Council in the House of Commons, in Ottawa in 2007. Our Prime Minister barely looked up. He didn't participate in the tribute + Yann Martel got to thinking...the result is this book, wherein, he suggests + SENDS books to Stephen Harper + as soon as I track down my library card I'm going to start reading the books YM has suggested. The first is...The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy.
