Step aside, Oprah: Former President Obama has plugged more than two-score films, TV series and books in his annual list of his favorite things. Obama acknowledged that streaming has conflated television and film releases, the latter of which have largely been withdrawn from theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not surprisingly, he included a number of books on race and politics. I’ll start by sharing my favorite books this year, deliberately omitting what I think is a pretty good book – A Promised Land – by a certain 44th president. pic.twitter.com/UHk4RA9dow — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 17, 2020Happy reading and watching!
