Utah Jazz center Ekpe Udoh tweeted late Thursday that he was looking for suggestions on what his popular, fan-based book club should read next.
One woman suggested a John Grisham novel. A couple of guys jokingly responded with the Book of Mormon. And then Udoh narrowed it down to the three most popular answers: “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” “Becoming” by former first lady Michelle Obama or “The Sun Does Shine” about an inmate living on death row.
The unexpected endorsement quickly spread on Twitter with some suggesting that Obama come to Utah for one of the book club’s “Author’s Talk” sessions.
