Former president Bill Clinton and The Office actor Mindy Kaling shared their favorite books recently on The Today Show. Follow this link to see both lists.
The odd pairing makes sense when you realize that both of the celebrities are promoting their own books–Clinton recently published Back to Work and Kaling recently wrote Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me?
Both authors chose books that weren’t surprising given their careers. The actress recommended Tina Fey‘s Bossypants and the former politician listed Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
On the show (which we have embedded above), Clinton said that reading is important, “because it makes you think.”
