In a light-hearted exploration of reading preferences, a former FBI director shares his current literary choices and nostalgic reflections on his reading journey. He is currently engrossed in two books: the fiction title 'The Patron Saint Of Liars' by Ann Patchett and the non-fiction work 'Stalin: The Court Of The Red Tsar' by Simon Sebag Montefiore, noting the importance of separating fiction and non-fiction for better sleep. For a desert island scenario, he would select 'The Lord Of The Rings' trilogy, recalling his teenage attempts to savor the story. He humorously mentions that if the trilogy exceeds his allowed limit, he would settle for 'The Hobbit' to extend his reading time. His love for reading was ignited by the children's book 'Fortunately' by Remy Charlip, and he fondly remembers reading 'Francis Marion: The Swamp Fox Of The American Revolution' around the same time his future wife was doing the same, hinting at their destined connection. He also candidly discusses his struggle with 'War And Peace' by Leo Tolstoy, admitting to skimming through parts of it.
