Ken Jennings has the answers to yesterday’s Capitol Statuary Hall trivia and some more Capitol trivia.

Michael Bérubé responds to a pretty good meme about books: One book that changed your life, One book you have read more than once, etc.

Speaking of books, Bob Cesca thinks “No Way In Hell President Bush Has Read 60 Books” —

Yet, he’s somehow found time to read not one, not five, not 20, but 60 books this year alone (via Crooks & Liars). According to US News & World Report, he’s in a competition with Karl Rove to see who can read more books over the course of the year. Rove is trailing by 10 books, until November when Diebold will put him up by three.

Maybe it is 60. Laura’s a librarian and maybe she introduced George to the “for Dummies” series. You know, Foreign Policy for Dummies, Economic Policy for Dummies, Military Strategy for Dummies, Healthcare Issues for Dummies, Disaster Assistance and Recovery for Dummies.

Oh, and The Constitution for Dummies.
