Emailing a friend the other day about knowledge research and Thomas Jefferson garnered this response: "A bit of trivia here: The Library of Congress reveres Thomas Jefferson (and thus names lots of things after him) because he helped to found the library by donating over 5000 books from his personal collection which was a pretty impressive collection in the 18th century. I think it is interesting to speculate what kind of libraries other presidents could start. Reagan's would probably contain a bunch of western paperbacks and a box of Reader's Digests. W might have some coloring books and The Very Hungry Caterpillar."
