We noted last week that President Bush was reading a Tom Wolfe novel during the middle of the workday on his way back from a Maryland bike ride. Well, Time reports we were wrong:
"White House aides were quick to put minds at ease. Bush's biking partner for the day, Mike Wood, had borrowed the book -- which includes ample accounts of steamy sex-play -- and had returned Bush's copy that day. Sources familiar with Bush's current bedside favorites say he is reading The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag by Kang Chol-Hwan. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recommended the book, and now Bush is encouraging his staff to read it too."
