"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers"
---Thomas Jefferson
This famous quote is a good lead in for an entertaining article on the reading habits of Presidents. Fun read - for a conservative rag, that is.
Ultimately, what a president reads may be less important than why he reads. It is to be hoped that he reads to expand his knowledge, deepen his sympathies, gain perspective, and cultivate a humility at odds with Washington, D.C.'s preening self-importance. (Can you tell I'm procrastinating about working on my taxes today? Good. hmmm, should really take a break and go fold the laundry now...) |
