What did Lincoln read?

Bill, I am sorry to hear that you are suffering the loss of people you cared for. It's the worst experience of being human, isn't it?

As for AL, I was surprised to learn that notwithstanding his great intellect his reading seemed confined mostly to law, the Bible and Shakespeare. It appears that he did not read widely, but read deeply.

Other than the law, he is said to have had an encyclopedic grasp of Scripture and Shakespeare which by itself is very impressive.
