Governor Palin's reading list

Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."
It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.

Again, assuming she actually reads, I'd like to know what is on her list too.
Her speech was written for her; I doubt she knew of the author or the quote, but if you speak it you own it!
It does also make me wonder about McCain's speech writer, Matthew Scully, though..
