Four Novels on President Obama's Martha's Vineyard Vacation Reading List

Posted on August 22, 2011

President Obama recently purchased several books at the Bunch of Grapes bookstore in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts for his Martha's Vineyard vacation. There were four novels among the five books he bought. Here is the list (the first four books are fiction):

• The Bayou Trilogy by Daniel Woodrell
• Rodin's Debutante by Ward Just
• Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
• To the End of the Land by David Grossman
• The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson

There are total of 6500 pages in the five books. Politico's Patrick Gavin says this works out to about 700 pages of reading a day during his nine-day vacation. Take a look:
