My favorite part of the summer 😂👏👏 And I was elated to discover I matched up with THREE of his books (this is a new record for me!!!). Whistler, The Things We Never Say, and Kin are all on my list of top reads of 2026. I love seeing all of his lists compiled in one place; thank you for doing the lord's work!!
I've kept a list of all the books he's recommended too. He has great taste, and his list is approachable so I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to Michael Pollan's book - it looks fascinating. There's a few holds on it at the library already, so it might be a while before I get to it.
Thank you for saying this. I really debated posting it because now, with AI, I wondered whether people don't find much value in listicles. But I really did piece it together and maintain it over many years, and I know that it's correct because I actually did the legwork! What a world we live in, right?!

Great point. I love how he once recommended girl on the train! He’s one of us.
We read it for book club and it's very interesting. 💖📚
Thank you for sharing this list with us!
I’m excited to read North Sun! It was written by one of my college professors and I was thrilled when I first saw it on Obama’s list!
SUPER cool!!
Thanks for doing this, because I was too lazy to goggle it, plus I hate googling now because of AI.

I trust your compiled list more than any AI results!
This is absolute music to my ears. Thank you.
Nice job. Very fun to look through.

I love that he always includes a bit of nonfiction! This is an interesting list. I hadn’t heard of quite a few of these.
But thinking about Obama reading Whistler makes me so happy!
SAME!!!
This is my favorite thing that he does. We love a well-read man!
