I’ll take book recommendations from anyone, even the POTUS PR team. (JK, this is probably legit.)

1. “The Bayou Trilogy,” by Daniel Woodrell — A collection of crime stories set in Louisiana

2. “Rodin’s Debutante,” by Ward Just — A coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of Chicago

3. “Cutting for Stone,” by Abraham Verghese — A book about the lives of twin boys born in Ethiopia

4. “To the End of the Land,” by David Grossman — A novel, set in Israel, about a mother’s grief during war

5. “The Warmth of Other Suns,” by Isabel Wilkerson — A nonfiction book that outlines the migration of African-Americans out of the South

Oh hey, look at that. The President and I are reading the same book (#5). And I would highly recommend it as well.
