According to People Magazine, Michelle Obama's "favorite book of all time" is Song of Solomon.
I remember reading it in high school and finding it strangely beautiful. Michelle Obama says she's looking forward to hearing her daughter's interpretation of the book, but it seems to be one of those works best read later in life. Even the smartest teen lacks some of the perspective and life experience to really understand great literature. The classics should be introduced early, but they must be revisited in order to make the greatest impact.
