Interesting selection, isn’t it? The Ronald Reagan biography is especially surprising.
Also surprising are some of the nasty comments on that post – “I was elected to lead, not to read“. How come a President who reads is such a bad thing?
“I was elected to lead, not to read“.. there are lots of reasons behind that comment !!! A good reader certainly doesn’t makes you a successful president !!!
@Sumana: That’s true, and yes, there are many people unhappy with Obama’s presidency, but still it seemed very random to relate that with his reading habit – especially considering that quite a few of the books listed there were related to his job
Good variety there. I find it very appropriate that he has two books on FDR. Though several could be work related reads for him
Yay, I love it that he reads, and I particularly love it that he chooses such interesting, cool books.
I love that he reads. I think he’s an intelligent, thoughtful person. Love this article. The graphic is great, too.
Good selection! I think it’s great he reads – it’s not a lot, but still, he doesn’t get much free time I’m sure.
What’s bad about a president who reads? He’s supposed to spend 24/7/365 thinking about his country. Yeah, well! Give the man some time off every now and then, I’d say!
@LeeSwammes: I know, it’s not a lot, but I am guessing this is not a comprehensive list either…
