Clinton's Favorite 21 books... It's interesting there are 21 and not a good round number, like, say, 20. I wonder which one on the list is the one that pushed it to 21? (I've read "Parting the Waters," "Lincoln," "Invisible Man," "Moral Man," "Nat Turner," and a few Yeats poems in college. There are 7 I've never heard of...) _____________ "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Maya Angelou "Meditations," Marcus Aurelius "The Denial of Death," Ernest Becker "Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954-1963," Taylor Branch "Living History," Hillary Rodham Clinton "Lincoln," David Herbert Donald "The Four Quartets," T.S. Eliot "Invisible Man," Ralph Ellison "The Way of the World: From the Dawn of Civilizations to the Eve of the Twenty-First Century," David Fromkin "One Hundred Years of Solitude," Gabriel Garcia Marquez "The Cure at Troy: A Version of Sophocles' Philoctetes," Seamus Heaney "King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa," Adam Hochschild "The Imitation of Christ," Thomas a Kempis "Homage to Catalonia," George Orwell "The Evolution of Civilizations: An Introduction to Historical Analysis," Carroll Quigley "Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics," Reinhold Niebuhr "The Confessions of Nat Turner," William Styron "Politics as a Vocation," Max Weber "You Can't Go Home Again," Thomas Wolfe "Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny," Robert Wright "The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats," William Butler Yeats
The Robert Wright book is awesome. The Taylor Branch book goes on and on. The pictures in it were different, IIRC. It's been a while but I thought Black Boy was better than Invisible Man. He left out the Bible, oh wait, he's not running for office...
I love 100 Years of Solitude. Of course Orwell is billiant too, but I haven't read that one. I have new book added to my reading list.
My guess would be... "Living History," Hillary Rodham Clinton I wonder how high the interest rate was on that Hummer? He's gonna be paying for that for YEARS.
These are the top 21 books that Clinton wishes were on his list. Not one features young ho's or big boobs
