What's on Obama's summer reading list? A book called 'Factfulness'

”Over the last few months I’ve caught up on some new books, and also re-read an old favorite, each of which has left me feeling more optimistic about our shared ability to confront the truth and move forward together,” Obama wrote on Facebook.

Leading the pile was Tara Westover’s best-selling memoir “Educated,” the story of a woman’s life and exodus from an Idaho survivalist family “even as she shows great understanding and love for the world she leaves behind.”

The 44th president selected “Warlight,” from author of “The English Patient” Michael Ondaatje. “Set after World War II, this is a meditation on families, on how they form and how they unravel,” Obama wrote.

Obama’s list also includes a novel he said he re-read, V.S. Naipaul’s “A House for Mr. Biswas,” the first novel from the recently deceased Nobel Laureate. Obama lauds the work as a “great novel about growing up in Trinidad and the struggle for post-colonial identity.”

Fourth on the list is “An American Marriage” by Tayari Jones, “which portrays, with great nuance, the effects of a false conviction on an African-American couple just starting out in life,” according to Obama.

The 44th president ends with another non-fiction pick: “Factfulness” by Hans Rosling, a New York Times bestseller about rejecting built-in biases and relying on facts — perhaps the only title on the list that nods directly to the current news cycle and the president who last year hired an attorney who 30 minutes after the list was published, declared “truth isn’t truth.”

While reading lists were a common occurrence during Obama’s presidency, President Donald Trump has not released a summer list of his own. Instead, he has touted books on his Twitter feed that appear to portray him in a positive light.

Many of Obama’s social media followers said they’ve added these books to their own summer reading lists, while some of his more than 29 million followers said they were reminded of how much they miss his time in office.

“That feeling you get when it’s been two years but you’re still madly in love with your ex,” Meghan Bingaling commented, with more than 10,000 hearts and likes.
