Anonymous Patron writes “White House Letter: Why is Bush reading Tom Wolfe? Don’t ask: If you ask the White House what President George W. Bush is reading these days, the press office will call back with the official list: “His Excellency: George Washington,” by Joseph J. Ellis, “Alexander Hamilton” by Ron Chernow and, not least, the Bible.
What the official list omits is Tom Wolfe’s racy new beer- and sex-soaked novel, “I Am Charlotte Simmons.” The president, a Wolfe fan, has not only read the book but is enthusiastically recommending it to friends.”
