President Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia went book shopping on Martha's Vineyard today. Their picks: John Steinbeck's The Red Pony, Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird for the girls and Jonathan Franzen's new novel, Freedom, for the president.
New York Times: "Call it a presidential perk, but the store let Mr. Obama buy an advance
copy of Freedom even though it is not officially on sale until the end
of the month."
