Good evening, I found this list on Amazon. Interesting titles no doubt. Is it an accurate list? Who knows.
One thing is for sure, there will be pithy conjecture and insightful theory about this list on the OOT.

We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
mmmmmm

playing fetch with the cat
the hell you say “cats don’t fetch”
yeah, well nobody told him that
@ rain of lead:
Leia doesn’t fetch.
She’ll run after stuff, but she just stands there and wags her tail.
@ lobo91:
it’s funny as hell to see him (merlin the baby panther)
walking around with his toy ball in his mouth
when he wants to play he willwalk over and drop it at my feet and give me that look *ok,two legs,throw the ball*
@ rain of lead:
I like that!
Ours won’t ‘fetch’ like that, but he’ll bring socks, shorts, toys, and (God help us) a sweater, up from the basement. ‘Serenading’ us while he does it. He’ll even pull stuff through the slats in the sides of the laundry hamper to do it.
Weird cat.
@ mfhorn:
all cats are weird
some are just more weird that others
@ rain of lead:
Our cat will play fetch when he is in the mood. It’s been a while. He was recently diagnosed as diabetic and had very little energy. We have gone ahead with the insulin shots and he is now regaining his energy.
It was fun to watch, throw something out and he’d tear out after it, grab it, bring it back and drop it at your feet to throw again. Better at it than the dog was; dog would never drop the ball.
I would be very skeptical that Jugears ever read the Federalist papers. Unless he was looking for loopholes.
@ AZfederalist:
yep they gotta be in the mood
and he fetches better than most dogs
really funny now since we got the wood floors
braking physics are a little different now
scramble,scramble *thud* scramble,scramble *thud*
The only one Obama did not read was the Federalist Papers IMHO

We have tile floor, so your sound effects are spot on.
@ AZfederalist:
what was even funnier was after the 2nd day of him crashing into stuff
him walking into my room just bitching at me in cat language
@ rain of lead:
Yep. It’s hilarious when you just know they are swearing at you over something you did or failed to do.
“You stupid human! My food dish is empty! What don’t you get about that?”
Just got back from the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club. What a day!!! Now I have to be back there at 6:30AM.
Synopsis of all these works in BHO’s mind: “Everybody owes me”.
Good Morning. A totally absurd AP article in the paper
this morning. Voters now have confidence in Obama’s
stewardship of the economy. “We are headed in the right
direction.”
Alan West is right, “Half of the country is stupid”
Perhaps though it is a slight stupid majority.

Yeah, at least half the country’s stupid. In a few weeks, we’ll find out if it’s more than half.
@ MacDuff:
Good morning Mac. We have been over 8% unemployment for
over 43 months (You know that the number is even greater)
The middle Class has lost over $4,000 in income under
Obama. Homes are underwater & Obama took on more than
6 Trillion more in debt that our children will have to
cover.
Seriously, I blame the teachers unions. People are incapable
of critical thought.

know thine enemy…that is why he read them
I one of his crappy memoirs Obama snarks about locking
himself in his room reading Malcom X, Ellison & Dubois etc.
He felt clever because his “typical white woman” Grandma
thought that he was studying.
By his own admission, he was a stoned, drunk high school
student with bad grades. Yet he pulled an academic scholarship
to Occidental College!
Totally based on merit./
new thread
“The Law of Nations” by Emer Vattel? He probably only read that one to figure out a way around the natural born citizen requirement, since Vattel was this Swiss 18th century legal scholar (and influence on our fonding fathers)who defined a “natural born citizen” the child of two citizen parents, which Obama obviously is not, unless his real father is Frank Marshall Davis.
To the extent the list is accurate, it is extremely heavy on race- and racism-obsessed texts.
The inclusion of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is significant because that work is a fraudulent ghost-written work by known plagiarist Alex Haley. The success of that fraud probably served as an inspiration to Obama, whose believed-to-be-ghostwritten fabrications of “composites” also have enjoyed success.
The inclusion of “Invisible Man” is likewise interesting. I have repeatedly urged posters here to read that work, because its latter half details how the unnamed black narrator becomes the willing dupe of a Communist Party-inspired group called “the Brotherhood,” which uses him to raise expectations and then foment a race riot. The similarities between Obama and the narrator are striking, as are the similarities between the “Brotherhood” leader and Obama’s mentor Bill Ayers. Ayers would have read this book, which was popular in the early-middle Sixties when he was in college. Obama is reputed to have toted it around, but there is no indication that he actually read it—if he had, it is unlikely that even he could have missed the parallels.
“Invisible Man” is interesting because the narrator eventually wakes up to what a fraud “the Brotherhood” is, and how he has been used. There is no evidence Obama has ever had a similar awakening. In addition, “Invisible Man” contains a great many references to American culture, most particularly to jazz of the 1930s. Obama, tone-deaf as far as American culture is concerned, almost certainly did not even recognize these references even if he did actually read the book.
