Reader in Chief

Heard this terrific story on NPR this morning about how the publishing industry loves Obama because he not only reads*, he talks about the books he reads, and every time he does, the book sells tons of copies. This photo, on the site, shows that he's passed along his literary tendencies to his daughters.

*And he actually reads, he doesn't just have his henchman go around claiming that he reads, the way Bush has done - Karl Rove is doing the talk show circuit and claiming, among other things, that he and Bush have a book reading contest every year (as if such a thing were even within the realm of reality).
