Jenny Sanford dishes on other best-selling authors

No interest in politics, but Ozzy sounds ‘cool’

February 16, 2010|By Christopher Borrelli, Tribune reporter

We met Jenny Sanford on Tuesday at the Four Seasons Hotel on Delaware Place. She was in town for a signing at the Book Stall in Winnetka, where she grew up. Then it's back to South Carolina, where she lives, separated from her husband, Mark, the governor of South Carolina — you know, the guy who disappeared to Argentina last June to meet with a mistress. Her book, "Staying True," just debuted at No. 8 on The New York Times best-seller list. So in the spirit of competition, we asked Sanford to offer her thoughts on some of the list's other books:

Nos 1. and No. 2: "Game Change" by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin; "The Politician" by Andrew Young.

"Politics don't interest me, and I have no interest in reading about a guy who lied for the guy he worked for."

No. 3: "On the Brink" by Henry M. Paulson Jr.

"Having worked on Wall Street, I am fascinated with what happened. But also, I would like to see his justification — my husband was actually fighting the stimulus."

No. 4: "I Am Ozzy" by Ozzy Osbourne.

"I would read this. He sounds like a really cool guy."

No. 10: "Just Kids" by Patti Smith.

"Intriguing. Lately I've been listening to a lot of spiritual music — to keep positive thoughts. The kind of ‘You done me wrong' country music, I can't listen to. I like country music where people are a little crazy — ‘Jesus, take the wheel because my life's veered off the road' or something."

No. 17: "Going Rogue" by Sarah Palin.

"I don't have any interest. I know Sarah. If it were sitting on my desk I would page through it, but I wouldn't drive out and buy it. Sarah, or as my boys call her, ‘Piper's mom.'"
