Sure, he does, and I bet he especially liked "Brave New World" and "1984" to help him figure out how to control people and set up a new police state.
I think he would love to be "Big Brother".

What does President Bush have to do with books & authors, if I may ask?
I realize I'll probably get thumbs down for this, but if you want to join the "I love to bash Bush" crowd, this question should really be posted under some other section that has to do with politics (for instance).
Quite frankly, I come to this section to read about books & authors and to answer some questions about the same. If I wanted to hear more bashing of the President - which seems to be a favorite pastime of some people - all I have to do is turn on the news or listen to what a bunch of Hollywood types have to say or listen to some musicians and their songs.
Being able to make a good speech does not determine intelligence. I've heard plenty of good speeches read by people with sub-par intelligence. They can speak well but don't have the intelligence to back it up.
If President Bush says certain books or authors are his favorites, I believe him. So? The point would be what? He doesn't make perfect speeches so he must not read erudite material? That makes no sense, and common sense will tell you that. Most people would agree with this point, if some other name than Bush were in the equation. (Besides which, getting a degree from Yale and another from Harvard is not exactly a piece of cake - no matter who your father happens to be.)

Did Persephone think that perhaps The Very Hungry Caterpillar was his favorite book because he read it to his twin daughters? They may have enjoyed it so much that it became his favorite as well. Regardless of our personal opinions of him we should at least try to find one positive thing he's done and if it's reading to his kids, well, that's more than some people on here have done.

He also once said his favorite childhood book was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Only he was over 30 when it was written. What does that tell you? His interest in history books is seeing if there is any world leader in history who was a bigger screw up than he is. There isn't.

That's just one more example of ghostwriting at its most ridiculous.

From his speech patterns I doubt if he is very literate.
