Quote from article:

Saturday’s pool reports revealed that POTUS bought two books for himself: “The Bayou Trilogy,” a collection by Daniel Woodrell, and “Rodin's Debutante” by Ward Just

...it was also revealed Saturday that Obama brought three books with him on vacation: “Cutting for Stone,” a novel by Abraham Verghese, “To the End of the Land,” a novel by David Grossman, and “The Warmth of Other Suns,” which was described as the "epic" story of America's Great Migration, by Isabel Wilkerson.

Last year, the president purchased “Freedom,” by Jonathan Franzen, “Tinkers,” by Paul Harding and “A Few Corrections” by Brad Leithauser.

For his daughters Sasha and Malia he bought “To Kill a Mockingbird,” by Harper Lee and “The Red Pony,” by John Steinbeck.
