What is Stephen Harper reading?

Yann Martel has started a website: "What is Stephen Harper reading?" As a sort-of protest of the Conservative tendency to under-fund the arts, Martel is sending Harper a gift of a book every two weeks, in the hope that Harper will actually read these books and learn to appreciate art. Brilliant. The website reproduces Martel's letters to Harper, and also the single letter received by Martel, from Harper's assistant.
