Dreams from My Father, by Barack Obama

All I can say is, it's a good thing I have no aspirations to become president, don't ever see myself writing a memoir, and have nothing profound to say on the intricacies of ancestry and culture and social economics, because otherwise I might just be in complete despair that I could never write anything as elegant, graceful, and thought-provokingly honest as this book.

Maybe I should start reading the writings of other writer-leaders (Vaclav Havel is published in English, isn't he?)
