Her pick: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Like every American kid I learned about Honest Abe in school, but the movie Lincoln made me curious about who he really was. Goodwin's biography, which inspired the film, brings him to life. He was so brilliant at persuading people, and such a romantic figure: tall, brooding, always the smartest guy in the room. I wish I'd known him (even if he wasn't as handsome as Daniel Day-Lewis).

她的选择:桃丽丝•古德文写的《对手团队:政治天才林肯》
像美国的每一个孩子一样我在学校学习《Honest Abe》,但是这部电影《林肯》让我好奇他他到底是谁 。古德温的传记,激发了这部电影的灵感,使他生动起来 。他在说服人民方面那么聪明,如此浪漫的一个人:个高、冥思苦想,总是房间里最聪明的家伙 。我希望我能认识他(即使他不像丹尼尔•戴•刘易斯那样帅气) 。
