Obama is well known for his intelligent thinking, eloquent speech, and classy and modest manner. He is an untiring advocate of equality, tolerance, rule of law, openness, global engagement and pluralism. I bet his favourite books, movies and songs of 2018 will definitely reflect his believe, his vision, his value and his compassion for life and love. I enjoy reading books, watching movies and listening musics in my pastime. I am happy I have got the following lists recommended by the person I really admire.
Here, I also copy his words from one of his 2016 speeches. The reason I like it so much is that it is so true in current world situation!
“If the benefits of globalization accrue only to those at the very top, if our democracies seem incapable of assuring broad-based growth and opportunity for everyone, then people will push back, out of anger or out of fear. And politicians — some sincere, and some entirely cynical — will tap that anger and fear, harkening back to bygone days of order and predictability and national glory, arguing that we must rebuild walls and disengage from a chaotic world, or rid ourselves of the supposed ills brought on by immigrants — all in order to regain control of our lives.”
