A few weeks ago, Barack Obama delivered a short speech to students at Washington Library. It turned out that Obama - a big fan of Dr. Seuss books, and it is more art than we expected among his favorite works. Of course, this is connected with the audience: is unlikely students would be interested to hear about your favorite books on sociology, politics and economics.
Barack ObamaWhen I was younger, I loved to go to the library and read a book. I still read a lot, but now more often for work than pleasure.
When Barack Obama was 12 years old, he dreamed of becoming an architect, basketball player or a lawyer. About the presidency was not even mentioned.
We found some previous mention the US president he liked books and compiled a list of favorite literature.
