ON
READING

area of specialization.

on the good, read the details.
V. Take a book a long with you wherever you go.
VI. While saving time is admittedly a laudable virtue doesn’t read
while you’re driving.
VII. Buy only books which you specifically need to refer to over and
over again.
VIII. Read with a pen or pencil, ready to underscore or annotate your
book- or take notes.

X. Instead of starting your day with morning paper and ending the
