Bill Clinton was on THE TODAY SHOW this morning, talking, as usual, about a lot of different things, but the intended purpose of his visit was to list some of his favorite books as people look for gifts for the Christmas season. His list is excellent, which gave me an idea: send in your list of favorite books to The TerryReport and will publish them, before or after Christmas. We’d be especially pleased to get lists with serious, historical works on them, but, more importantly, books that have not yet been discovered by most people. Thanks! (12.20.11)
