Yann Martel v. Prime Minister Harper

Over two years ago, back in my Daily Wenzel days, we came across a news clipping of Canadian author Yann Martel (Life of Pi) taking Prime Minister Stephen Harper to task over ignoring the arts communities. To help combat this, Martel vowed to send Harper a book every two weeks. I recently discovered that Martel has been running a blog about the project, What Is Stephen Harper Reading. The blog details the (now) sixty books Martel has sent, along with a letter written to give a perspective on why he chose that particular book. Also included are a few replies from the Prime Minister's Office, curtly thanking the author for his gifts.

I'm guessing that some form of the correspondence is going to be collected as an anthology since there is November 2009 publication date listed.
