無論是在白宮給孩子們讀書,還是在黑色星期五逛當(dāng)?shù)貢?,或是向女兒推薦讀物,貝拉克·奧巴馬總統(tǒng)也許都可以被稱為書籍達人。 奧巴馬酷愛讀書。最近,他在接受《紐約時報》采訪時談到了書籍在他執(zhí)政期間的重大作用,書讓他獲得信息并給予他靈感。奧巴馬說,書籍讓他得以“慢下來,獲得看問題的視角”。《娛樂周刊》回顧了這些年來奧巴馬青睞的書——模仿著名領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的讀書方式并非壞事。把奧巴馬選為2017年讀書俱樂部主席怎么樣,有人同意嗎? 以下是奧巴馬擔(dān)任總統(tǒng)期間推薦的所有書籍: 給女兒的書: |
Whether he’s reading to kids at the White House, hitting up local bookstores on Black Friday, or giving recommendations to his daughters, President Barack Obama may as well be known as the Commander in Books. POTUS is an avid reader and recently spoke to the New York Times about the significant, informative and inspirational role literature has played in his presidency, crediting books for allowing him to “slow down and get perspective.” With his presidency coming to an end this Friday, EW looked back at Obama’s lit picks over the years — because it can’t hurt to read like a great leader. #ObamaForBookClubPresident2017, anyone?

When asked what books he recommended to his 18-year-old daughter Malia, Obama gave the Times a list that included The Naked and the Dead and One Hundred Years of Solitude. “I think some of them were sort of the usual suspects […] I think she hadn’t read yet.

作為熱情的讀者,這些年來奧巴馬的名字跟一長串小說和詩歌選集聯(lián)系在了一起。他承認(rèn)自己很喜歡一部驚悚小說——奧巴馬對《時代》雜志表示:“我覺得《消失的愛人》是一本結(jié)構(gòu)完善、文筆出色的書?!彼€是科幻小說粉,喜歡劉慈欣的《三體》等書中天馬行空的想象。奧巴馬說:“書里的世界很大。所以讀起來很有趣,部分原因是我每天在國會遇到的問題都顯得相當(dāng)?shù)男?,不值得操心。外星人就要入侵了!?/p> 1. 《雙生石》,阿布拉漢姆·沃吉斯 2. 《到大地盡頭》,大衛(wèi)·格羅斯曼 3. 《純度》,喬納森·弗蘭岑 4. 《河灣》,V·S·奈保爾 5. 《婚姻的真相》,勞倫·格洛夫 6. 《華麗人生》,理查德·普萊斯 7. 《荷蘭》,約瑟夫·奧尼爾 8. 《兩年八個月零二十八夜》,薩爾曼·拉什迪 9. 《重新派遣》,菲爾·克萊 10. 《隱形人》,拉爾夫·埃里森 11. 《單聲圣歌》,肯特·哈魯夫 12. 《回家的路》,喬治·佩雷坎諾斯 13. 《什么是什么》,戴夫·艾格斯 14. 《哲學(xué)與文學(xué)》,彼得·S·湯普森 15. 《德瑞克·沃爾科特詩選》,德里克·沃爾科特 16. 《勝負(fù)未定》,約翰·斯坦貝克 17. 《消失的愛人》,吉莉安·弗琳 18. 《三體》,劉慈欣 19. 《哈利·波特》系列,J·K·羅琳 關(guān)于其他總統(tǒng)的書籍: |
As a devoted reader, the president has been linked to a lengthy list of novels and poetry collections over the years—he admits he enjoys a thriller: “I thought Gone Girl was a well-constructed, well-written book,” he told the Times. Obama is also a fan of sci-fi titles like Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem for the escapism they provide. “The scope of it was immense,” he said. “So that was fun to read, partly because my day-to-day problems with Congress seem fairly petty — not something to worry about. Aliens are about to invade!” 1. Cutting for Stone, Abraham Verghese 2. To the End of the Land, David Grossman 3. Purity, Jonathan Franzen 4. A Bend in the River, V. S. Naipau 5. Fates and Furies, Lauren Groff 6. Lush Life, Richard Price 7. Netherland, Joseph O’Neill 8. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights, Salman Rushdie 9. Redeployment, Phil Klay 10.

橢圓辦公室可能讓人覺得孤單,所以讀一讀先輩的經(jīng)歷應(yīng)該只會帶來幫助。奧巴馬在接受采訪時說:“那些自傳一直都很有用,因為我確實覺得有這樣一種傾向,那就是認(rèn)為目前的任何狀況,無論是災(zāi)難性的、令人好奇的還是困難的,都是獨一無二的,這可以理解。”他會在下面這些書中尋找建議: 1. 《西奧多·羅斯福的崛起》,埃德蒙德·莫里斯 2. 《約翰·亞當(dāng)斯傳記》,戴維·麥卡洛 3. 《林肯:一位作家的傳記》,弗雷德·卡普蘭 4. 《危機1932:羅斯福百日新政與美國決勝時刻》,喬納森·阿爾特 5. 《羅斯?!?,讓·愛德華·史密斯 6. 《林肯與勁敵幕僚》,多麗絲·基恩斯·古德溫 7. 《林肯選集》 知識性書籍: |
The Oval office can be a lonely place, so reading about your forefather’s experience could only help. “The biographies have been useful, because I do think that there’s a tendency, understandable, to think that whatever’s going on right now is uniquely disastrous or amazing or difficult,” said President Obama in an interview. He’s turned to these books for advice: 1. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Edmund Morris 2. John Adams, David McCullough 3. Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer, Fred Kaplan 4. Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope, Jonathan Alte 5. FDR, Jean Edward Smith 6. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Doris Kearns Goodwin 7.
