Does U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin consider herself intellectual? You betcha!
Although she didn't name a single newspaper or magazine when CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked where she got her information, Palin told People magazine she has always been a "voracious reader."
She mentioned reading - anything from biographies to historical works - as one of her favourite things, along with her children and sports.
Besides author Lawrence Wright's terrorism history, "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," Palin says she's been reading a lot of briefing papers.
She says: "And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on."
She says she appreciates a lot of information, as she grew up in a family of school teachers.
Also, Palin says if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they have already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.
"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.
The magazine will be on newsstands on Friday.
