Presidential Reader
I’m wondering how much work, if any, will be accomplished in my place of business today. I’m going to speculate: none. Check out the links below if the workplace distractions reach epidemic proportions.
Kids’ letters to President Obama were featured in a New York Times editorial by Jory John, Program Director of 826 Valencia. McSweeney’s has also published book of the letters to be called Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country: Kids’ Letters to President Obama edited by, coincidentally enough, Jory John.
The New York Times also takes a look at the books that shaped the new President.
Karl Rove writes about the Rove-Bush book club in a Wall Street Journal editorial, the claims of which are discussed in The Guardian and The New York Times. (I snarked on the subject way back here.)
And let’s not forget Clinton. I read a great piece by George Saunders in this year’s The Best American Non-Required Reading called Bill Clinton, Public Citizen. It was originally written got GQ, but it is not available on-line. However, there is a short interview that Saunders conducted with Clinton that you can check out.
