Lib 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:

Sometimes, I'll write facts that are important to remember (ones that would be beneficial/I would enjoy to read in the future). Other times, I will write my comments, observations, or opinions. That's important because it gives me time to put the book down and really look inward. That too is interesting to read in the future. (less)
