Over the next few days, I'll share my annual list of favorite books, music, and movies. Art always sustains and nourishes the soul. But for me, music and storytelling felt especially urgent during this pandemic year. I'll start by sharing some of my favorite books of 2021:
Since these are works I have actually listened to, watched, or read, I’m sure I’ve missed some worthy stuff. So if you have your own recommendations to share, I’ll add them to the stack of books and movies I hope to catch up on over the holidays!
Next up are my favorite movies of the year. Each of these films tells a powerful story, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
I've always enjoyed listening to a wide variety of music, so it’s no surprise that I listened to a little bit of everything this year. I hope you find a new artist or song to add to your own playlist.
@BarackObama #WestSideStory?! Say less! You have great taste @BarackObama!
@BarackObama I'm disappointed you didn't show @ArethaFranklin some Respect and Jennifer H as well. Not nice.I usually agree with you on things. And you're from Chicago to boot.
@BarackObama Good to see "#SummerOfSoul" on this list President Obama. What a towering achievement. Easily my favorite documentary of the year.👌🏾👏🏾👍🏾
@BarackObama oh god thank you for not choosing licorice pizza. The ensuing discourse would kill us all
@BarackObama The Last Duel over King Richard and Dune!?!?!? Say it ain’t so, Barack!?
@BarackObama Quo Vadis,Aida is a true story and another tragedy like that should never happen anywhere in the world.
@BarackObama President Obama being an Old Henry fan warms my heart
