She's a constant reader of novels, from Harry Potter to The Secret Life of Bees, but not typically a fangirl: never got into Gossip Girl, never bought boy-band T shirts or posters.

He even used the common island greeting "Howzit," a Pidgin English version of "How's it going?" "How's everybody doing today?" Obama asked the crowd that turned out to greet him. "Howzit?"
