Modelling themselves on the efforts of the Canadian writer Yann Martel to fight against the growing indifference of politicians towards literature by sending books to Stephen Harper, in 2011, they began the „Polećmy książki premierowi” (Let's Recommend books for the Prime Minister) in which readers could choose books which would be given to Donald Tusk by Michał Świgon, the erstwhile editor, during a book fair in Warsaw in May of that year.
Receiving them, Tusk promised to give the copies of those he already had to a library, but that he would read the others with pleasure.
When asked to recommend a book himself, he replied that while he felt like he ought to recommend a book by a Polish author, he in fact had to choose The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, which he called "incomparable".
