Reading Habits of the Rich and Famous
Per Jen at Bookslut:
National Library Week (only a week?) is starting off with a list of famous people's reading habits. Including Laura Bush. A former librarian herself, she reads Willa Cather, Truman Capote and Dostoyevsky.
She demurely declines to mention a clandestine fascination with the oeuvre of Lynne Cheney.

I'm surprised George lets Laura get away with reading Dostoyevsky. Because he's not American!!

Very good point. I'll bet she's careful not to leave any Sartre on the nightstand, for just the same reason.

Do you really think George knows whether or not Dostoyevsky is American? He's probably been meaning to ask her about that, when he figures out how to pronounce it.
