McCain’s & Obama’s Favorite Book

5 Sep

With all the talk about the party conventions here in the United States, I thought it might be appropriate to check into what each candidates’ favorite books are.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy list out there.  However, one interesting fact did emerge: both John McCain and Barack Obama share a favorite book.  What is it?  For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway.  McCain appreciates it as the book is about soldiers in wartime, while Obama finds it inspirational. Interesting how they come to the same conclusion on the same book, but for different reasons.
