The Associated Press asked the Presidential candidates what was the last fiction book they had read and while there were the usual answers (John Grisham) some are quite interesting. To wit:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: ”The administration’s energy plan.”
California Rep. Duncan Hunter: ”The Democrats’ proposal to balance the budget.”
Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo: ”An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore.
Well played sirs. The oddest though was Senator Clinton’s choice, ”Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Unless I am mistaken (and I’m not) “Team of Rivals” is a work of non-fiction, not fiction like the question asks. Maybe this is a very sly swipe at the plagerism allegations against Doris Kearns Goodwin (but somehow I doubt it).
