Has anyone here read Barack Obama's books?

Just wondering as I'm just reading his first one, "Dreams from my Father", written in the mid-nineties, which is very autobiographical. It's an interesting read, and you can learn a lot about his background, and thoughts. He often mentioned his grandmother from Hawaii, the one who passed away only one day before his election.

Anyone else here who read it, or the other one, "The Audacity of Hope"? If you don't mind, please share your thoughts on it.

I bought it but haven't read it yet. I really want to get started on it soon!

No I did not know he had books out.. Now I watched his Bio on AE the other night && that was very interesting..

I read Audacity of Hope before he won the primaries. He's a very eloquent man, and I think his ideas hold a lot of merit. I respect Gandhi very much and, while I was reading Audacity, I kept thinking to myself how similar many of Obama's values were to Gandhi's. I thought that was lovely
