Haven't even started it yet. The last two political books I read were about Trump (his niece and Woodward), so it will be nice to read about a decent human being this time. Anybody read/reading it?

I read the chapter on Obamacare that was reprinted in the New Yorker. I thought it was quite good. It gave some new (to me) insights on that bit of history. It had plenty of facts and detail, without getting too bogged down. Of course, some of his pride and anger come through, but it has a fairly calm tone.

Yes. Reading it this weekend while I recover from Covid.
Really liking it so far. Self effacing and personally interesting.

I have it on reserve from the library, but I was late to the party and I'm way down on the list. It's going to be a long wait.

I'm listening to the audiobook and loving Obama's reading of it! Hearing his voice makes me feel wistful for the years of his presidency. I'm especially enjoying his perspective on events and experiences that Michelle described in her book. I'm glad I read her book first. But maybe that's a woman thing.

I think reading both of the books will get a true picture.
