Book Report / On Vacation

Monday, May. 21, 2007 4:59 PM


The Minister is on holiday through May 31.

During the time I've been on disability (since October 2005), I've read quite a few books. I am a reasonably fast and avid reader, and my interests touch on a broad range of subjects.

It is my opinion that there is no way President George W. Bush read sixty books in the space of a single year � in addition to the flood of position papers and reports that must routinely cross a president's desk. Nor do I believe that anyone who can read sixty books, ranging from Shakespeare to Camus, could possibly be as shallow and dull-witted as Mr. Bush routinely demonstrates himself to be.
