Want a very quick way to feel like a slacker? Of course you do. Check out this infographic that The Daily Beast and Newsweek put together of every book that President Obama has read since the 2008 campaign.

He’s read about 24 books, with a good balance between fiction and non-fiction. If Obama is picking out these books himself, he has excellent taste in both his quest for history and knowledge and his love for genre fiction.

Where the POTUS finds the time to read would make an interesting investigative piece. Basically, anyone that can’t find the time to read eight books per year should just give up. Cough, cough.
