President Obama has released his summer reading list

President Obama packed a mix of fiction and nonfiction books for his two week vacation with his family in Martha's Vineyard.

ABC News obtained the list of the six books chosen by the Commander in Chief:

All That Is by James Salter

All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow

Thankfully, the Washington Post went to the trouble of calculating how long it would take President Obama to finish all six titles:

"If he started reading at noon on Thursday and only stopped reading for 8 hours of sleep and three one-hour meals a day, he would finish them up by 10am on Monday."
