As has been tradition every year, Barack Obama shared his summer reading list on social media this week. The list showcases his usual mix of fiction and nonfiction, and it shows off an interest in both books that have been popular and some that are lesser-known.
This year, we’ve got a couple of heavy hitters when it comes to titles already seeing critical acclaim and award talk. There’s a biography of an American literary legend, as well as a work of nonfiction that’s generated a lot of social media discourse–positive and less-so. And genre? President Obama’s got some of that in his reading life this summer, too.
