THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO READING LIKE BARACK OBAMA

"Given Obama's status as an A+ bookworm, I thought it might be valuable to gather his reading lists and book recommendations into one big post so anybody who wants to read like Barack Obama would know how to get started. The books mentioned below show how widely Obama reads: you'll find history, current events, sociology, political science, and philosophy alongside memoirs, literary fiction, thrillers, and science fiction. As Obama knows, every genre has its place and time and every book can teach us something about the world or can make living in the world a little bit easier. Or both. So here are Obama's recommended books, in reverse chronological order"- Rebecca Hussey BookRiot 11-5-18
