That sounds more like a fixation about himself as seen by the West. But who has books about themselves anyway?

On the bright side, at least he doesn't have Fifty Shades of Grey.

Osama knew the West well enough to accurately gauge its response to a lot of his actions. He was strategically intelligent enough that his twenty year plan is still basically unfolding as planned. That article was published in 2005 and it basically predicted the Arab Spring as well as the rise of the Islamic State

Osama's reading list is the funniest thing and everyone should laugh at it.
