Note from Bill Clinton to Carolyn Kellogg
In case you ever wondered if Bill Clinton reads blogs…apparently he does! On July 4th, Carolyn Kellogg from The Los Angeles Times book blog, Jacket Copy, wrote about Bill Clinton’s reading habits. It seems that she made a mistake in her piece and was informed of her error by a personal, handwritten note from Bill Clinton. In the note, Clinton expanded on his current reading, providing her with a list of the titles he has recently read. Here they are:
1. Steven Johnson’s “The Invention of Air” and “The Ghost Map,” esp. #1
2. Tom Zoellner’s “Uranium”
3. Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers,” his best book.
4. John Bogle’s “Enough”
5. Selden Edwards’ “The Little Book”
6. Richard North Patterson’s “Eclipse”
7. Andrew Greeley’s “The Cardinal Sins” (now almost 30 years old)
