無論是在白宮給孩子們讀書，還是在黑色星期五逛當?shù)貢�，或是向女兒推薦讀物，貝拉克·奧巴馬總統(tǒng)也許都可以被稱為書籍達人。
奧巴馬酷愛讀書。最近，他在接受《紐約時報》采訪時談到了書籍在他執(zhí)政期間的重大作用，書讓他獲得信息并給予他靈感。奧巴馬說，書籍讓他得以“慢下來，獲得看問題的視角”�！秺蕵分芸坊仡櫫诉@些年來奧巴馬青睞的書——模仿著名領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的讀書方式并非壞事。把奧巴馬選為2017年讀書俱樂部主席怎么樣，有人同意嗎？
以下是奧巴馬擔任總統(tǒng)期間推薦的所有書籍：
給女兒的書：
Whether he’s reading to kids at the White House, hitting up local bookstores on Black Friday, or giving recommendations to his daughters, President Barack Obama may as well be known as the Commander in Books.
POTUS is an avid reader and recently spoke to the New York Times about the significant, informative and inspirational role literature has played in his presidency, crediting books for allowing him to “slow down and get perspective.” With his presidency coming to an end this Friday, EW looked back at Obama’s lit picks over the years — because it can’t hurt to read like a great leader. #ObamaForBookClubPresident2017, anyone?

Books for Daughters:
對于給18歲的女兒瑪利亞推薦過哪些書的問題，奧巴馬給了《時代》周刊一份清單，其中包括《裸者與死者》和《百年孤獨》。“我覺得其中一些書被推薦的頻率很高[……]我想她還沒有讀過。還有一些書現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不是人人都想讀了，但我記得它們都很有意思�！眾W巴馬列出的書單如下：
1. 《裸者與死者》，諾曼·梅勒

在獨立書店的購書：
When asked what books he recommended to his 18-year-old daughter Malia, Obama gave the Times a list that included The Naked and the Dead and One Hundred Years of Solitude. “I think some of them were sort of the usual suspects […] I think she hadn’t read yet. Then there were some books that are not on everybody’s reading list these days, but I remembered as being interesting.” Here’s what he included:
1. The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer
2. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez
