Barack, Malia, & Sasha shopping for books at Politics & Prose
Browsing nonfiction titles has made me realize that, although I pride myself on having a wide variety of interests, there are a lot of books I have no interest in reading.
Books I don't want to read:
-Memoirs by Steve Harvey and/or Andre Agassi
-Books written by current politicians with someone else whose name is smaller on the cover
-Any nutrition book whose premise is that some normal food group actually inflames your intestines/turns you into a zombie/makes you die
-Any self-help book with a loopy cursive script on the cover
-Any business book that has the words "unlock," "secrets," or "productivity" on the cover
-Books about the Civil War with beige covers
-Any memoir where a person did _________ for one year and then wrote a memoir about it
-Any book about World War II
Books I do want to read:
-A book that uses country music as a lens to examine the values of the American South
-A book that catalogs all known types of human humor
-A book that traces the influence of groundbreaking sitcoms on other sitcoms that followed
-A book about all the ways that internet has changed language
-A book about the cultural influence of pellagra
