		In the end, Canada’s National Librarian Roch Carrier announced the victory of Michael Ondaatje’s novel as the “Canada Reads Champion.” The contest was so popular that In the Skin of a Lion is said to have sold approximately eighty thousand copies more in 2002 than in 2001.
		Canada Reads has become an annual literary event with three subsequent versions of the contest—two in English Canada on CBC, Radio One (now also broadcast on Newsworld television), and one in Quebec on Radio Canada (“Le Combat Des Livres”).
		In Canada Reads, the choice is not whether a novel best represents a region/ author/ era/ ethnic group/ subject, or whether it is qualitatively superior rather whether it is the most durable depiction of Canada and whether it is championed by a persuasive and popular advocate.

		I love Canada Reads, and have been eager to hear the show since the books were announced, and so was very disappointed with the low level of intellectual discussion.
		The Canada Reads program is one of my favorite early signs of spring whereby Canadians can step outside of their preferred reading spaces to debate an interesting collection of Canadian titles.
		Canada's authors write a wider range of fiction than is represented by the books (yes, I agree all excellent choices even if they aren't science fiction) that show up each year in Canada Reads.

		Canada Reads is decidedly not the venue where voracious readers of eclectic, innovative or "fringe" authors such as you (or maybe I) find our place...a venue, so to speak, where the grand dialogue highlighting the profound and consequential Canadianitude of our nation's literature is engaged.
		She kind of enjoyed the looks she'd get on the bus reading these things, but she was concerned about girls bringing these kinds of books to school all excited about these books only to be met with a slight sneer or worse from their teacher.
		Canada Reads is based on a premise we probably shouldn't take for granted: reading (Canadian) fiction is a worthwhile endeavor and fiction is a good source of entertainment.

		Despite a plethora of audiobooks with Plath reading from her own poetry, this one seems unique in that none of her standards are here.
		She reads rapidly yet clearly, without bothering with titles, her voice throbbing, seeming to build up anger as she goes along.
		She reads her stormy poems with a precise pronunciation that emphasizes their emotions and the rhythms.

		Richard and Veronica are so annoyed by her that they decide to expose her to the dark side of Canada.
		Because when those gigantic, cataclysmic events that change the world occur -- like, say the fall of the Berlin Wall, or Canada winning the gold in hockey -- only a really good parent would make sure that their kids were busy playing with a wooden toy from Sweden.
		Canada Reads is a pro literacy campaign spearheaded by Canada's Public Broadcaster the CBC.
