The Naked President
The Naked President is a quirky comedy about the remarkable and eccentric Cartmel family.
Roger Cartmel, ace fighter pilot, turned Anglican vicar, turned bigamist, and classic English cad, is the father of three extraordinary sons who form the personality of a dazzling, young U.S. President.
Ichabod is an intellectual, a philosopher and ordained Anglican minister with a passion for doughnuts. Bubba, the richest man in the world, builds a full-size replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Texas, while his young half-brother, Parsifal is a mystic who has strange dreams.
Oh yes, dog lovers! There is a remarkable dog in this story; the dog is utterly fearless and understands Spanish. There is also a character who may be an Angel though I am not sure, a brief encounter with the mysterious phenomena called exothermic combustion, and a dramatic confrontation with a West Coast biker gang.

An engaging short read, about 3 hours beside the pool. Written mainly from a first person perspective in short sentences.
A non-family created by one man as he travels across the world finally focuses back on one person a naturist who others want to be President of the USA.
Throw in some Native American and Eastern philosophy, a pyramid and a biker gang treat everything with a few coats of Panglossian gloss ... Yes I liked it.

A lot of ancient wisdom and recent knowledge blended together
The story starts off strangely with a lot of expository writing. I stuck through that and was rewarded with a very interesting tale. I like fit and expect that you will, too.
