Via ABC news.

"Yesterday, we reported that President Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha made an impromptu stop at Bunch of Grapes, a popular island bookstore in Vineyard Haven. When they left the bookstore some 30 minutes later, Sasha emerged with a large brown paper bag, but despite several requests by tenacious reporters as to what books the president might have purchased, it took 24 hours to finally learn most of the bag’s contents...."

Can someone please kindly provide a real link? Many public wifi networks block the redirection URLs as they're used to hide porn and the like. At least they do here in Charlotte.

edit: To add to that, I did try to follow the link and wound up getting disconnected and then locked out of that network.

Thanks. (Yes, it's annoying and I could run a proxy through a server but I know on most forums, you don't use shortners as it's a nono.)

SO far I see exactly one comment about the books. All the rest are political BS.

Oh man, you are not kidding, theapparatus. I just checked out that comments section and it's awful. I am a politics junkie, but there's a time and a place. This is an article about what the President is reading on his vacation, for pete's sake.

I personally found the novel by David Grossman and the non-fiction title "The Warmth of Other Suns" to be interesting-sounding. At least, they are the kinds of books I usually like to read.
