After Barack Obama mentioned the book The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope by Jonathan Alter, the book is selling like it’s bread and soup and this is 30 October, 1929.
This gave me an idea: Barack Obama is a very smart and well-read man who is now at the centre of global attention. If we could start putting Obama Book Club stickers on intellectual books and Americans start broadening their horizons with smart literature, for once, we could put Oprah out of business and never have to hear about The Secret ever again.
