![]() A challenge to Man’s rank in the natural pecking order. Who wouldn’t be interested in a classic man-versus-nature story of a man-eating tiger? There is a certain primitiveness to this idea. I planned on reading the book while listening to shows, and it only took me over 3 years to actually get to it. But, more than most of the other titles that year, this one caught my interest. As such, this title got a rough ride on the show. It was the only book that didn’t have a Canadian connection, other than the author’s nationality, and it was the only history narrative, while the other four were all memoirs. I remember thinking then that The Tiger by John Vaillant stuck out a bit from the others. The 2012 edition of Canada Reads switched gears a bit and focused on non-fiction titles for the first time.
