Guy answers “I enjoy reading and learning about history...”

Prateet asked this question about The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism:

I enjoy reading and learning about history but struggle to read long books like the Bully Pulpit without becoming lost in the detail and only making it a few chapters in without losing sight of the bigger picture. How long do people usually take to finish a book of this length, and how best to extract the most important information?

The best ah to extract information is to let it flow and enjoy it. You won't be tested and no one will hate you if you don't finish it. You're not graded. Since it is well-written, it isn't that difficult to read through it.(less)
