Chers amis - Public Policy Forum

Chers amis,
Si vous êtes un bibliophile comme moi, et je sais que beaucoup
d’entre vous le sont, les Fêtes vous permettent de ralentir, de
prendre une grande respiration, et de vous plonger dans la lecture
d’un excellent livre (ou de plusieurs).
Encore une fois, le Forum a demandé à un groupe diversifié de
leaders canadiens ce qu’ils ont l’intention de lire pendant les
moments précieux de détente attendus avec tant de délectation à
ce moment de l’année. Comme toujours, leurs réponses couvrent
un assortiment éclectique de sujets et de genres. Certains livres
sont évidents, d’autres plus surprenants!
Ci-joint vous trouverez notre liste de lecture de 2012. Comme vous
pourrez le constater, quelques titres figurent sur plus d’une liste, y
compris The Power of Why, hommage à la curiosité signé Amanda
Lang, et Solar Dance, le best-seller de Modris Eksteins au sujet
d’un célèbre faussaire de Van Gogh.
Le quotidien Globe and Mail compte publier des extraits de notre
liste dans la section Livres du samedi 15 décembre.
Avec les meilleurs vœux de toute l’équipe du Forum des politiques
publiques du Canada pour une saison des Fêtes paisible et un 2013
rempli de bonheur,
David
