Canada Reads has announced the 2017 longlist and most of them are new to me. The question being asked this yeah is "What is the one book Canadians need now?" The debate will take place between March 27-30. I look forward to the debates each year. I don't plan to read all of these, but I will read the 5 on the shortlist. In the meantime, I might try a few on the longlist.
