Books our Presidential Candidates Should Read


This was taken from the New York Times Summer Reading issue June 1, 2008. I bought the paper just for this response from Lorrie Moore. I loved it!!!

For Obama: "The Portrait of a Lady," by Henry James. A virtuous orphan is plotted against by a charming, ruthless couple the orphan once trusted and admired.

For Clinton: "Macbeth," by William Shakespeare. The timeless tale of how untethered ambition and early predictions may carry a large price tag.

For McCain: "Tales from the Brothers Grimm." In case more are needed.

Go Obama, Go!
