Jared Kushner Says He Read Up on Middle East During Minutes Waiting for Ski Lift
BAGHDAD (The Borowitz Report)—Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that he became “incredibly well-informed” on the Middle East by reading up on the region while waiting for the ski lift on a recent trip to Aspen.
“There would be times when you’d have to wait five or even ten minutes for the ski lift, and that’s when I’d take out my phone and read up on the Middle East,” he said. “I really got into it.”
Kushner said that the Middle East was a “truly fascinating region” because of “all the countries that they have there.”
“There is Israel, and Egypt, but there is also Yemen and places like that,” he said. “Sometimes I would start learning about a new country, but then the ski lift would come.”

As a beginning to learning about the region. He's read a lot of much more in depth books since but we still have the Dummies book on the shelf.
Maybe we should buy the newest edition and send it to Jared?

Problem is, they haven't updated it since January 2003.
Are there Cliff Notes as well? Classic Comics?
