President Obama is taking a ten day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard with his wife Michelle and their two daughters. The President stopped in to the Bunch of Grapes bookstore in Vineyard Haven for some summer reading. He bought “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Red Pony” by John Steinbeck for the girls, as well as Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.
For himself, he picked up the eagerly anticipated, highly praised and aptly titled “Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen. (This book does not go on sale for another two weeks but the store owner gave Obama an early review copy)
He even signed a copy of his book, “Dreams from my Father,” for a fourteen year old boy.
