Besides charging up San Juan Hill and serving a turn as President, Teddy Roosevelt had some interesting advice to readers. Here’s one of his ten points:
“Personally, the books by which I have profited infinitely more than by any others have been those in which profit was a by-product of the pleasure; that is, I read them because I enjoyed them, because I liked reading them, and the profit came in as part of the enjoyment.”
There’s not much room for pretense in Roosevelt’s universe.
