The (mostly) Texas Books Issue By the book

Blake writes “The San Antonio Current Interviews Frates Seeligson. Seeligson insists modestly that many people read more than he does, but they think not many read as comprehensively. He visited with the Current in his pleasant, and yes, book-filled, offices near Brackenridge Park.
Since his 30s, Seeligson has followed a self-made plan to read his way chronologically through world and American history, while enjoying books on public policy, sensual topics such as shad and caviar, and fiction. “I try to average four books a month,” he told me, holding up a yellow legal pad filled with pages of titles, many scratched off. “So at the end of six months, I’ve read 24 books.”

    Really interesting
    I thought this was really interesting and I especially like how his approach gives him such a wide and balanced understanding since he reads different sources on the same topic and he takes the time to do this and develope a whole picture of the subject matter or historical figure. I wish I had the time and the discipline to follow his plan!
