George W. Bookish?
There's been a lot of talk lately about George W. Bush's vacation reading. Evidently, the press somehow learned that the President packed three heavy reads for his five week Texas ranch escape: Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky, Alexander II: the Last Great Tsar by Edvard Radzinsky, and The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History by John M Barry.
Presidential reading, indeed. But does our president really hunker down with such weighty tomes?
Ellis Henican at Newsday.com expresses a measure of cynicism.
