Twice a year the CBC Cross Canada Checkup radio show does a call in program on book recommendations. I enjoy listening to these and how passionate the people are about the books. I typically find one or two books that I've never heard of or that are in a genre that I normally wouldn't read.
This year the CBC had compiled a list of 100 books that should make you proud to be a Canadian.

... so the show was about what books should have been on the list. There are really some great books on the list and I don't know how many made it to other countries. I thought some on this forum might be interested.
Here's the link to the list and there's a link to a MP3 download of the program:
