Maybe I was an atypical guy, but none of my letters had anything to do with philosophy or literature. I think they mostly focused on things going on in my life at the time I wrote, and shared memories of the past.
Judging by the narrative in Dreams, I wouldn't think that philosophy and literature meant much to the young Obama.

Hey babe,
I just wanted to point out that Karl Marx would have enjoyed golf.
I am certain he would have golfed every chance he could.
Not to mention that Chairman Mao, when he wasn’t busy starving tens of millions of his own people, was entitled to go on a vacation frequently.
Love ya,
