Theodore Roosevelt discusses his reading habits, and his likes and dislikes among many categories of books and authors. Roosevelt talks about the times of day he reads, his reading while traveling or on hunting trips, and he emphasizes that each individual will have to develop his own taste in books and reading. A photograph of Roosevelt reading in the doorway of a cabin and a text box acknowledging the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership’s support of the Theodore Roosevelt Association supplement the essay.
