Influential, Inspiring, Powerful...Today's New York Times featured an article about the role books have played in shaping the life and views of our soon to be 44th President, Barack Obama. Here's a short list of books mentioned in the article:
Parting the Waters by Taylor Branch
Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
We’ve also included an AP photo that shows a father and his daughter; the daughter with a book in hand. Here in East Hampton, we’ve lost count of the photos we have snapped over the years; photos that show the same regard for books and reading as a family enterprise. Regardless of your political views, keep on passing that torch and know we’re here to support your efforts.
