In a Facebook post, the former president shared his list saying, “It’s August, so I wanted to let you know about a few books I’ve been reading this summer, in case you’re looking for some suggestions.” Filled with fiction, non-fiction, and short stories, with a blend of newly-released titles sure to become favorites as well as beloved classics, there’s something for everyone on this list.
