Nero's reading list (something to do while Rome burns)

Bush's Summer Reading List - Provided by the White House Press Office

From this list one can only assume that the president is a very literate man. It is interesting to note that he chose to read the classics Macbeth and Hamlet so late in life, and in the same summer as all of the other books listed. Neither of these are books that you would really want to read quickly, or when one is busy with the pressing details and distracting issues of the presidential office. How could the president do these works justice under these conditions?

Oooh...
