Bush Says Bible Is His Best Book

LIMA, Ohio (Reuters) - President Bush said on Saturday his favorite reading was the Bible, followed by books about history. On a campaign stop in Lima, Ohio, Bush took questions from his audience, including from a young boy who asked him what his favorite book was. To loud applause, the president replied: "The Bible." He said he was also a fan of history and had just read a biography of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers and the first treasury secretary. "History is a way to understand the past so you can better see the future," Bush told the boy.
