The Chicago Tribune recommends a list of "required" reading for the new president-elect. We have some in the SCCS library:
An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore
The Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides
A Savage War for Peace, by Alistair Horn
The Trial, by Franz Kafka
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz
I would add a personal favorite:
The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan
What books do you think the new president should read?
Oh, and only slightly related, did you know that President-elect Obama likes to read bedtime stories to his daughters, and has all the words to Goodnight Moon memorized?
