Hillary Clinton has some unexpected free time on her hands these days, and as she told the audience at the American Library Association conference on Tuesday, she’s been filling it with things like hikes, white wine, and reading. The former presidential candidate said that after her election loss, one of the ways she found solace was by “going back to the familiar experience of losing myself in books.”
Then she ticked off what she’s read since November: “I finished Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels, I devoured mysteries by Louise Penny, Donna Leon, Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd,” she said. She continued, “I reread old favorites like Henri Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son, the poetry of Maya Angelou and Mary Oliver. I was riveted by The Jersey Brothers and a new book of essays called The View From Flyover Country, which turned out to be especially relevant in the midst of our current health-care debate.” (The last is a self-published book of essays by Missouri-based journalist Sarah Kendzior.)
Congratulations to Hillary, who now has more time to read than a person who lives in Washington Heights and commutes to Ditmas Park.

Good time to read the book to find out what is in it.
Here’s another one for her....
Throw Me In The Van, Stan: The Drunken Presidential Campaign Of Hillary Clinton by blueunicorn6
She can read?
Could have fooled me.
Wish she’d lose the mic.
My thought exactly!
Has she ever referred to anything she's ever read, except maybe Rules for Radicals, when she has given a speech?
ML/NJ
Perhaps start with the Gospel of John?
Reading the Bible would be a good thing but I believe she has her own religion, the religion of corruption. If anyone could write a book about that “trade”, Hitlary certainly could write a best seller.
Isn’t it about time we stop hearing about Hitlary, she is a has been, a loser, a criminal who needs to be in jail. Enough is enough. Please let her go away.

Revelation 3:20
Rules For Radicals isn’t on that list?
She didn’t reread it to see where she got it wrong?
Sissy Matthews says in times of trouble he always turns to the wisdom of Saul Alinsky.
Hitlery had a rendezvous with the dude, and she didn’t find comfort and wisdom in his words in her fall from the spotlight?
I could definitely see political books by globalist #Nevertrumpers on her list.
Since I am for sealing the borders that makes me an “anti-semite” according to Levin.
Unless it's dollar signs.
The BIBLE!!!!
I actually wonder if she’s read Clinton Cash.
